High spectral resolution lidar based on quad mach zehnder interferometer for aerosols and wind measurements on board space missions

We present the measurement principle and the optical design of a Quad Mach Zehnder (QMZ) interferometer as HSRL technique, allowing simultaneous measurements of particle backscattering and wind velocity. Key features of this concept is to operate with a multimodal laser and do not require any freque...
