Field calibration and sensitivity analysis of coherent infrared differential absorption lidars

Field calibration and sensitivity analysis of coherent infrared differential absorption lidars

Field tests were conducted with two identical infrared differential absorption lidars for the remote measurement of low concentrations of gases in the atmosphere. An FTIR spectrometer was also used to provide quantitative calibration of the systems with each other and with the FTIR. Statistical anal...

Zusammenfassung:Field tests were conducted with two identical infrared differential absorption lidars for the remote measurement of low concentrations of gases in the atmosphere. An FTIR spectrometer was also used to provide quantitative calibration of the systems with each other and with the FTIR. Statistical analyses of the lidar signals were used to determine the sensitivity limits for range and minimum detectable path-integrated concentration.
