Development of a coherent laser transceiver for the NASA CO/sub 2/ laser absorption spectrometer instrument

We describe the development of a coherent laser transceiver designed to measure planetary boundary layer CO/sub 2/ from an airborne platform to a concentration precision of 1 ppmv, using the technique of laser absorption spectrometry.
