Integrated Photonics Technology for Earth Science Remote-Sensing Lidar

We present recent progress on a photonic integrated lidar system for carbon dioxide (CO2) active remote sensing at 1572.335 nm. With integration, the cost, size, weight and power (CSWaP) of the system are significantly improved. System and subsystem level results are demonstrated.
