Raymetrics Introduction Raymetrics was founded in 2002 with the aim of manufacturing the highest quality scientific instrumentation. The company designs, manufactures and delivers a range of advanced LIDAR systems for atmospheric measurement. Standard products include backscatter, depolarization and Raman LIDARs and LIDAR-related components such as specialist telescopes. LIDAR Principle A LIDAR works by emitting a laser beam into the atmosphere. The laser light is scattered by particles, with some “backscattered” to a telescope placed alongside the laser. Because the speed of light is known,...
