Basic characteristics and performance of a detection chain for a LIDAR system used in remote sensing of the atmosphere

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The basic characteristics and performance of a detection chain for a LIDAR system used in remote sensing of the atmosphere are presented. The detection chain allows high spatial and temporal resolution, reliable operation, and a wide dynamic range. The achieved noise equivalent power (NEP), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and detection limit are presented. The detection chain is characterized by its low power requirements, low cost, easy use, and flexibility.
