Abstract

All LIDAR instruments are not the same, and advancement of LIDAR technology requires an ongoing interest and demand from the community to foster further development of the required components. The purpose of this paper is to make the community aware of the need for further technical development, and the potential payoff of investing experimental time, money and thought into the next generation of LIDARs.
