Abstract:
Block diagram and specifications of a lidar are presented. The multifrequency and multichannel modes of lidar operations permit to record simultaneously the vertical profiles of ozone and aerosol distributions and of the aerosol particle size spectrum. As base lasers, a frequency doubled Nd : YAG laser and an excimer XeCl laser were used. In combination with the stimulated Raman–scattering (SRS) conversion of radiation of pumping lasers in hydrogen, sounding can be simultaneously performed at wavelengths of 308, 353, 413, 532, and 683 nm. The possibility exists of extending the range of sounding wavelengths due to the use of a gold–vapor (628 nm) and lead–vapor (723 nm) lasers. The data on the size spectrum of aerosol particles obtained simultaneously with data of ozone sounding, allow one to correct the profiles of ozone concentration for the aerosol contribution.
