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.

Water Vapor Differential Absorption Lidar
2021Water vapor is one of the fundamental thermodynamic variables that define the state of the atmosphere. It is highly variable in space and time and influences many important processes related to weather and climate. For more than two decades the importance of water vapor profiling has been underscored by the research and operational weather communities.

Differential absorption lidar signal averaging
Applied Optics, 1988This paper presents experimental results using an atmospheric backscatter dual CO(2) laser differential absorption lidar (DIAL). It is shown that DIAL signals can be averaged to obtain an N(-(1/2)) dependence decrease in the standard deviation of the ratio of backscattered returns from two lasers, where N is the number of DIAL signals averaged, and ...

Frequency chirped differential absorption LIDAR
SPIE Proceedings, 2006We present a novel concept design of a differential absorption LIDAR for open path trace gas sensing in the atmosphere. To perform a range-resolved gas sensing we propose to arrange a set of retroreflectors in the laser beam path to measure a differential absorption in adjacent sections.

Lidar differential absorption and scattering technique: theory
Applied Optics, 1983The results of theoretical investigations of the differential absorption technique for sounding atmospheric water vapor are described in this paper. The sources of errors and their effect on the results of interpreting the sounding data are analyzed. The mathematical problems for inverting the lidar returns are considered.

Nonconventional coherent differential absorption lidar
SPIE Proceedings, 1992A new detection method is presented for detecting the weak optical signal scattered back from a topographic target. The weak signal arriving from a topographic target is amplified by the frequency modulated transmitter laser of the lidar system and the amplified signal is mixed with the frequency shifted transmitter laser beam.

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 ...

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.

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).
