A Bioaerosol Detection IRLidar

Article Preview

Abstract:

Lidar is the main standoff detection system against bioagent/bioaerosol, An infrared lidar has been developed for bioagent/bioaerosol monitoring. The overall architecture and specifications of the lidar were described. The results of overlap coefficient, horizontal and slant measurements at Hefei, such as comparison of observed horizontal extinction coefficients between commercial MPL Lidar and the IRLidar, the slant path time-space extinction coefficient distributions have been revealed and discussed. The results show that the IRLidar is a reliable lidar with advanced performances.
