Polarization lidar at 1.54 µm and observations of plumes from aerosol generators (Journal Paper)

The ability to detect relative changes in backscatter polarization from a scanning high-pulse-energy lidar system at 1.54-μm wavelength is demonstrated. The new capability was tested during the dissemination of various biological aerosol simulants and other particulate emissions at the U.S. Army's Dugway Proving Ground. Results demonstrate that the lidar is sensitive to different types of aerosols, and departures from the atmospheric background depolarization ratio are consistent with the limited amount
