Descriptions
The RIVM stratospheric lidar is a differential absorption lidar (DIAL). Since September 2007, it has a Coherent LPXPro 325C XeCl excimer laser, predominantly emitting light pulses in the wavelength 308 nm. A secondary beam (at 353 nm) is generated through Raman conversion in a Hydrogen cell. Subsequently, the system measures the backscatter in these two wavelengths (both measured in near [5% intensity] and far [95% intensity] channels) and at 332 and 385 nm (Raman channels).
