Photon counting marine LiDAR using blue laser diode excitation
Gallium nitride (GaN) laser diodes are shown to offer a viable alternative to the solid-state lasers typically used in photon counting ocean LiDAR. With their ability to operate at various blue wavelengths, coupled with compactness and efficiency, they offer some considerable advantages over conventional solid-state sources.
