Abstract
We report development progress of a Concurrent Artificially-intelligent Spectrometry and Adaptive Lidar System (CASALS) for topography swath mapping from space. The beam scanning was demonstrated by fast wavelength tuning and grating dispersion, and near quantum limited performance was measured at 1550 nm. A 1040 nm CASALS prototype is being developed for Earth science. The laser is rapidly tuned across 13 nm and carved into 2-ns pulses to scan 256 tracks. At the grating-spectrometer-based receiver, returns from each track are filtered spatially and spectrally and imaged onto a HgCdTe APD-array. The detected signals are time-division-multiplexed to only two high-speed analog-to-digital converters and range-gated to reduce data volume. The design can be adapted for gapless sub-meter resolution lunar swath mapping at 1550 nm. 3D imaging of landing site with 4 M footprints per second is enabled by inserting a 4-Hz 2D steering mirror. The lidar can also perform navigation measurements up to 100 km.

Key content
- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
