Lidars - Parameters for a DIAL

Basic Parameters Measured by a DIAL system are:

  1. Ozone/water vapor concentration profiles
  2. Particle backscatter profiles at different UV wavelengths

Here are some typical parameters of this kind of system:

Wavelength: 250 nanometers
Pulse rate: up to 10 Hz
Minimum range: 15-60  m
Maximum range: 3-9 km
