Abstract

Recently, a 1.55-μm pulsed coherent Doppler LIDAR system using all fiber optical components was developed to achieve real-time measurements of wind fields. The system employs 100-μJ pulse energy at 10 kHz pulse repetition rate. In addition, the system consists of a fiber-based optical transceiver unit, a two-axis scanner, and a multicore digital signal processor (DSP) for real-time signal processing. With compact and mobile design, the LIDAR is easy to transport and deploy for different field campaigns. For a different application of LIDAR, the range resolution can change manually. A horizontal detection range of 10 km is achieved with the temporal and spatial resolution of 1 s and 30 m, respectively. Field experiments compared with an anemometer show that correlation coefficient of the different wind speed measurements is 0.953; the correlation coefficient for wind direction values is 0.967. Continuous wind profiles of the planetary boundary layer are presented to demonstrate the stability of the system.
