The LEMON project was well represented at the 13th edition of the International Conference on Space Optics (ICSO), which was held virtually between the 30th March and the 2nd April 2021. The ICSO conference is the world’s largest meeting of experts who are active in all disciplines of optical, optoelectronic and photonic technologies for space […]

The LEMON consortium is delighted to announce that the peer-reviewed article « High Energy Parametric Laser Source and Frequency-Comb-Based Wavelength Reference for CO2 and Water Vapor DIAL in the 2 µm Region: Design and Pre-Development Experimentations » has been published in Atmosphere journal on 20th March 2021 as part of the Special Issue Remote Sensing of Atmospheric […]

The LEMON consortium gathered for the 2nd Review Meeting on the 20th of January 2021. The meeting was initially planned to take place at the premises of SpaceTech GmbH, in Immenstaad, Germany, on Lake Constance. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic and travel restrictions, a remote meeting was scheduled instead. The REA Project Officer, Sabri […]

The LEMON project was particularly well represented at the 19th International Conference Laser Optics – ICLO 2020, which took place between 2 – 6 November 2020 in St-Peterburg, Russia. This biannual conference is a main event in the field of laser physics, optics, and photonics, which attracts more than 1000 attendees from all over the world. To […]

The LEMON newsletter n°3 from the LEMON project is now available! This newsletter will present the progress of the project during this last period, with the completion of our instrument mechanical readiness review and the launching of the fabrication for several sub-systems. In addition, the DIAL instrument design is presented. Also, since the European Space […]

The LEMON consortium has conducted the radiation tests for the most critical devices used within the lidar system. For the non-linear Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO) crystals and the highly non-linear fibers the post radiation tests have been conducted, too. The results of those have proven that the materials used for the airborne demonstrator are also […]

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, many events planned this year have been postponed or cancelled.Here are some updates about the upcoming conferences that the LEMON partners will attend. The 19th International Conference Laser Optics – ICLO 2020 in St-Peterburg, Russia, initially planned in June 2020, has been postponed and will take place between the 2nd – 6th November 2020. LEMON partner KTH is the […]

The LEMON project is dedicated to developing a new versatile Differential Absorption Lidar (DIAL) sensor concept for greenhouse gases and water vapour measurements from space. Although during the COVID-19 crisis most of partners’ facilities were closed and the access to their laboratories limited, the LEMON team continued part of the work remotely. The LEMON General […]

The LEMON consortium is pleased to release the project Newsletter N°2 / April 2020. In this issue of the Newsletter you will find: – The LEMON Instrument Design by ONERA. – Contributions by CNRS and Fraunhofer ILT on Existing Lidar applications in the space sector. – The First results of the ‘FRUIT’ manufacturing, by SPACETECH. […]

The LEMON project is pleased to present the first results on the so-called Frequency Reference UnIT (FRUIT) manufacturing, which are exposed in the « White paper: The LEMON FRUIT: An absolute frequency reference concept for future spaceborne multi species differential absorption Lidar instruments« , by partner SPACETECH. In order to obtain accurate greenhouse gas concentrations from DIAL […]
