Water vapor differential absorption lidar development and evaluation

Applied Optics, 1979
A ground-based differential absorption lidar (DIAL) system is described which has been developed for vertical range-resolved measurements of water vapor. The laser transmitter consists of a ruby-pumped dye laser, which is operated on a water vapor absorption line at 724.372 nm.

Analytical differentiation of the differential-absorption-lidar data distorted by noise

Applied Optics, 2002
A method of analytical differentiation is developed for processing differential absorption lidar (DIAL) data. The method is based on simple analytical transformation of the DIAL on and off signal ratio. The derivatives consequently are found for either individual data points or local zones of the measurement range.

Sensitivity of coherent rage-resolved differential absorption lidar

Applied Optics, 1984
A range-resolved DIAL (differential absorption lidar) system with heterodyne detection has been developed. A hybrid TEA CO2 laser was employed as the transmitter oscillator, which emitted single-frequency pulses of 140 mJ. The heterodyne receiver, which had a minimum detectable power of 2 × 10−11 W, could detect the echo signals backscattered from ...

Analysis of differential absorption lidar from the Space Shuttle

Applied Optics, 1978
A 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, 1994
A 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.

CO 2 coherent differential absorption lidar

SPIE Proceedings, 2000
Experimental chemical detection and radiometric results are presented from recent coherent differential absorption lidar (DIAL) ground tests conducted over four kilometer horizontal path at the Air Force Research Laboratory. Heterodyne data was collected simultaneously with the Laser Airborne Remote Sensing direct detection DIAL sensor for comparison ...

Optimal bandwidth for topographical differential absorption lidar detection

Applied Optics, 1996
A 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, 1984
Algorithms 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 ...

Detection and discrimination using multiple-wavelength differential absorption lidar

Applied Optics, 1985
A methodology is presented for generalizing two-wavelength single-material differential absorption lidar to multiple wavelengths for use in simultaneous multimaterial detection and discrimination. A key role in the analysis is played by the concentration path length (CL) product covariance matrix ΛĈL, which generalizes the CL variance.
