Range-resolved pulsed and CWFM lidars: potential capabilities comparison
An analytical comparison of key capabilities for both continuous wave frequency modulated (CWFM) lidar and incoherent pulsed lidar is presented. Principles of CWFM-lidar architectures are described and the CWF...

Atmospheric CW-FM-LD-RR ladar for trace-constituent detection: a concept development
We formulate a general framework for simultaneous remote ranging and spectral selection of trace constituents by an appropriate use of frequency modulation combined with mixing and filtering. A theoretical mod...

Development of a SNR parameterization scheme for general lidar assessment
We present a general methodology for evaluating the capabilities of a general lidar system encompassing both backscatter (elastic and Raman lidar) and topographic targets. By introducing a well-defined atmosph...

Application of the method of decomposition of lidar signal-to-noise ratio to the assessment of laser instruments for gaseous pollution detection
A general methodology for rating both performance and potential of lidar systems used for detection of atmospheric trace constituents including pollutants and gas leaks is developed. By individually examining ...
