Paper Abstract
A lidar system employing a diode laser pumped Nd:YLF laser and photon counting technique is described for use in automated cloud and aerosol measurements. A Nd:YLF laser provides 523 nm 10 (mu) J/pulse energy at 2500 Hz repetition rate. A coaxial configuration is used for transmitting laser pulse and receiving the signal with a 0.2 m Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. An avalanche photodiode is used for back scattered photon counting in Geiger mode. This micro pulse lidar (MPL) is capable to detect subvisible cirrus and boundary layer within 10 second averaging time. Also the MPL takes back scattered signal at four different spatial resolutions of 30 m, 75 m, 150 m, and 300 m to meet various user requirements. The detected signal is processed and displayed on a personal computer. The 32 bit data processing software is running on the Window 95 platform.
