Experimental estimation of the efficiency of trace gas sounding in the mid-IR by the OPO lidar system

摘要

The results of the development of a mid-IR differential absorption lidar based on the optical parametric oscillator (OPO) are presented. The receiving and transmitting parts of the OPO-lidar are described. The sounding efficiency of trace atmospheric gases in the mid-IR using an OPO lidar system developed is experimentally estimated. Echo signals of the OPO-lidar system in the mid-IR are experimentally detected.
