3D Aerosol LIDAR

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Raymetrics' 3D Scanning Aerosol LIDAR, model LR111-ESS-D200, is a sophisticated laser remote sensing instrument designed to provide detailed atmospheric information. It is particularly useful for applications such as remote visibility, fog detection, and cloud base height measurement.

Key Features

High energy laser emitting ~30 mJ per pulse at 355 nm.
Large 200 mm telescope for enhanced signal capture.
Range of 10-15 km with excellent Signal to Noise Ratio.
Remotely controllable with full scanning capability.
Comprehensive software suite for real-time display and measurement scheduling.
Options for nitrogen Raman at 387nm and Cross-Polarization at 355nm.
Eye-safe according to EU standard EN 60825-1: 2007.
Complies with ISO 28902-1:2012 for visual ranging with LIDAR.

How LIDARs Work
The system emits an eye-safe laser beam into the atmosphere. Light is scattered by atmospheric particles and returned to a telescope, allowing the determination of atmospheric layer distances and characteristics.

LR111-ESS-D200 3D Scanning Aerosol LIDAR Introduction Raymetrics’ 3D Scanning Aerosol LIDAR is an active laser remote sensing instrument designed to provide a variety of important information about the atmosphere. Aerosol LIDARs measure the particles, not of movement of particles as with wind Doppler LIDARs. This allows for applications including remote visibility (SVR, RVR, VOR), fog detection, remote cloud base height and more. With full 3D scanning capability, a powerful laser and a large telescope, Raymetrics’ LR111ESS-D200 is probably the most powerful eye-safe 3D scanning LIDAR on the market....
