Fraunhofer Lidar Prototype in the Green Spectral Region for Atmospheric Boundary Layer Observations

A lidar detects atmospheric parameters by transmitting laser pulse to the atmosphere and receiving the backscattering signals from molecules and aerosol particles. Because of the small backscattering cross section, a lidar usually uses the high sensitive photomultiplier and avalanche photodiode as d...
