Topic: The State-of-the-art Atmospheric Lidar and its Application
Abstract Atmospheric Lidar is the most powerful tools for investigating the structure and composition of the atmosphere at high resolution. In the past ten years, we have focused on the atmospheric wind measurement, which is essential for understanding and predicting the future state of the earth-atmosphere system and is most difficult to be detected by lidar. Based on the double-edge technique, we have successfully developed a series of Doppler wind lidars to directly detect the winds throughout the troposphere, stratosphere and lower mesosphere. Wind observation has been carried out in northwest of China for several years, demonstrating the stability and robustness of the system. Recently, as the incremental improvements in photon counting, sensitivity, optical detector, a new type of the compact lidars has been in our lidar group, incorporating the micro-pulse and eye-safe laser at 1.5 μm ,the small optical antenna and the single-photon detector. Taking advantages of high signal-to-noise ratio of the detectors and high spectral resolution of the fiber Fabry-Perot scanning interferometer, the new lidars can measure the aerosol and the wind with high temporal and spatial resolution throughout the troposphere during the day and night, even in cloudy or raining days. The system setup for the new lidar contains the simplest optical structure and all-fiber connection, which made the system robust and stable enough to use in harsh environments such as aboard aircraft or satellites.
