Modulated Laser Pulse based Water Vapor DIAL
نویسندگان
چکیده
A single pulse modulation and pseudorandom coded pulse modulation are utilized for water vapor DIAL in this paper. The water vapor profiles conducted from these modulation techniques are compared to the real observation data in summer in Japan. As a result, the single pulse modulation is appropriate for near region measurement, while pseudorandom coded pulse modulation is appropriate for far region measurement.
