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.

Water vapor differential absorption lidar development and evaluation
Applied Optics, 1979A 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.

Sensitivity of coherent rage-resolved differential absorption lidar
Applied Optics, 1984A 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 ...

Analytical differentiation of the differential-absorption-lidar data distorted by noise
Applied Optics, 2002A 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.

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.

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

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.

CO 2 coherent differential absorption lidar
SPIE Proceedings, 2000Experimental 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, 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.

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).
