Scientific paper

The preparatory efforts of ESA in the area of laser remote sensing are described. Main emphasis in technology development is placed on the achievement of efficient and powerful laser sources with the required levels of beam quality, reliability, and lifetime. Activities include the development of flash lamp and diode pumped Nd:YAG lasers for backscatter lidar, CO2 lasers for Doppler wind lidar, and rare earth solid state laser activities for Doppler wind lidar and DIAL (Differential Absorption Lidar) applications. At instrument level, priority is given to the development of an Atmospheric backscatter Lidar (ATLID), a promising first candidate for early space implementation. ESA's preparatory steps towards a space qualifiable instrument demonstrator of ATLID are described. Results from related user studies and campaigns are presented.
