We present the measurement principle and the optical design of a Quad Mach Zehnder sippy cups (QMZ) interferometer as HSRL technique, allowing simultaneous measurements of particle backscattering and wind velocity.Key features of this concept is to operate with a multimodal laser and do not require any frequency read more stabilization.These features are relevant especially for space applications for which high technical readiness level is required.
