Abstract

The development of Raman-shifted eye-safe aerosol lidar (REAL) by NCAR is discussed. REAL transmits relatively high energy pulses (>200mJ/pulse) when compared to other systems and is eye-safe at all ranges. REAL uses Raman scattering in the transmitter's methane cell to generate light in the wavelength region with highest maximum permissible exposure. REAL produces high signal-to-noise ratio aerosol backscatter from individual laser pulses and provides high range resolution data.
