16-22107 - Development of a Compact Short-range Anemometric LiDAR (16-22107)

Definition of the requirement  

The National Research Council of Canada requires the services of an organization specialized in optics, photonics and lasers. The requirement is to develop test and optimize a compact, short-range anemometric LIDAR that will be integrated into a comprehensive experimental infrastructure designed and fabricated by NRC. The LIDAR will be used to measure the instantaneous velocity vector of aerosol particles entrained by the ambient wind. The LIDAR shall measure particle velocity within a volume of 1 meter cubed located within 15 meters from the instrument. The expected precision on the magnitude and direction of the velocity vector is + 0.3 m/s and +1 degree, respectively. The subcontractor for the Free Stream Anemometer (FSA) optical system has been the Institut National d’Optique (INO). The Prototype-2 will now be upgraded and optimized to fulfill the overall project objectives to provide the Prototype-3.
