Simulated performance of space-borne wind lidar between 355 nm and 532 nm based on double-edge Fabry-Perot and iodine filter were compared respectively . The comparison and analysis included emitted photon number, atmospheric backscattering, detector, filters and wind measurement sensitivity. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and wind measurement error were calculated to assess the lidar systems’ performance. The results showed that when altitude ranges from 0 to 5 km, the wind measurement error of iodine filter system at 532 nm is lower than that of double-edge Fabry-Perot system at 355 nm, while for higher altitude, measurement error of double-edge Fabry-Perot system is 25% lower than iodine filter system.
