Abstract :
Differential absorption LIDAR and Doppler wind LIDAR require frequency stabilities down to the sub-MHz range. The traditional standard method of pulsed frequency stabilization is the pulse build up time method. This paper presents frequency stabilization of an injection seeded Q-switched Nd:YAG ring oscillator thought for LIDAR.
