Analysis of differential absorption lidar from the Space Shuttle
Applied Optics, 1978A parametric analysis of the Shuttle-borne differential absorption lidar concept for the measurement of atmospheric trace constituent profiles in the nadir viewing mode is presented. The criterion of an optimum constituent optical depth is developed and applied to generate estimates of range resolved measurement errors.

Differential absorption lidar system for routine monitoring of tropospheric ozone
Applied Optics, 1994A differential absorption lidar system for routine profiling of tropospheric ozone for daytime and nighttime operation is described. The system uses stimulated Raman scattering in hydrogen and deuterium of 266-nm radiation from a quadrupled Nd:YAG laser.

Optimal bandwidth for topographical differential absorption lidar detection
Applied Optics, 1996A detected laser signal backscattered from a tilted target is modeled with a laser-pulse shape as a response of a high-pass filter to an exponential input that describes the gain buildup within the laser cavity before a laser pulse is emitted and a single-pole low-pass RC filter for the electronic amplifier.

Multiple wavelength differential absorption lidar evaluation
Acta Physica Hungarica, 1984Algorithms are shown for the interpretation and evaluation of multiple wavelength differential absorption lidar data for cases when only limited information is available about the molecular components present prior to the measurement. Experimental data are modeled by computer simulation of measurement, errors and reliability of the measurements are ...

Laser prf considerations in differential absorption lidar applications
Applied Optics, 1983Laser pulse repetition frequency (prf) is a major factor in determining the performance of differential absorption lidar (DIAL) systems. The effects of laser prf on concentration measurement accuracy and maximum usable range are quantified. Heterodyne-detection (coherent) and direct-detection (noncoherent) as well as path-averaged and range-resolved ...

Numerical simulation for differential absorption lidar system
SPIE Proceedings, 2007In the recent years, the most country in the word attach importance to the environmental and the protection of environmental doubly. The differential absorption lidar (DIAL)operating in the infrared wavelengths is a powerful standoff sensor for rapid remote detection of chemical emissions.

Doppler spectral scanning differential absorption lidar
SPIE Proceedings, 2002Preliminary experiments toward the implementation of Doppler spectral scanning differential absorption lidar (DSS DIAL) are described. In separate tests, CO2 laser pulses were reflected from either a ground-based retroreflector (36-km round-trip distance) or a retroreflector on the GEOS-3 satellite (approximately 2000-km round-trip distance).

Water vapor micropulse differential absorption lidar
SPIE Proceedings, 1999By combining the capability of a differential absorption lidar (DIAL) and the excellent characteristics of a micro pulse lidar (MPL) we have designed and tested a micro pulse DIAL system, which could be operated from the ground or airborne platform, to monitor the atmospheric water vapor mixing ratio.

Effect of pulse-pair correlation on differential absorption lidar
Applied Optics, 1985Calculations are presented of the effect of pulse-pair correlation on the detection statistics of alarm systems using differential absorption lidar (DIAL) for the remote sensing of toxic gases. This experimentally observed correlation is found to have a significant beneficial effect on the performance of such systems. The calculations are performed for
