Abstract

Lidar measurements of atmospheric gases in the spectral ranges 1.8–2.5 and 3–4 μm have been numerically simulated. The differential absorption lidar system based on optical parametric oscillators with nonlinear KTA and KTP crystals is described; it allows tuning laser radiation in the near/mid-IR wavelength regions. Lidar echoes have been experimentally recorded in the 1.8–2.5 and 3–4 μm wavelength ranges.
