The intelligent and compact coherent Doppler lidar (CDL) for wind sensing is demonstrated. The configuration is fiber-based. Several functions for the robust wind sensing in various atmospheric and environmental conditions are shown. The main feature of this CDL is the intelligent functions of the beam focusing, spectral accumulation, and window wiping. The supplemental functions of the robust noise floor reduction and motion compensation are also introduced. The effect of the above-mentioned main feature is demonstrated for the improvement of data availability. The evaluation results of the highly accurate wind velocity measurement are additionally shown.
