GTRI is home to four LIDAR laboratories, with a total of 1600 square feet of floor space. Two of the labs have electrically-operated roof hatches that provide a view of the zenith sky. The labs are fully equipped and house several lasers, telescopes, detectors, and data systems that are used in prototype lidar systems. One lab houses an operational ozone and aerosol lidar known as NEXLASER.
The Electro-Optical Systems Laboratory is a leader in electro-optical (EO) and radio frequency (RF) signal and information processing, with expertise covering system design, algorithm development, and modeling and simulation for signals across the electromagnetic spectrum.
