Shameless plug, but I work on a multispectral lidar that does produce “colored” point clouds in the SWIR [0]. It is pretty cool, we use it for detection of humidity degree or for species discrimination (e.g. plants, minerals, chemicals…). [

We use a similar method to simulate 2D atmospheric turbulence for adaptive optics simulations in astronomy. The structure of turbulence is described by an analytical power spectral density function (classically Kolmogorov spectrum). We gene

The problem is that high performance optical systems are expensive. There are physical limits that forces them to have big mirrors and other expensive and relatively bulky optical elements. Also, there is no mass production due to small bat
