A compact CO2-lidar system for the detection of atmospheric pollutants

Abstract

A mobile, tunable CO2-lidar system using the DAS-technique (Differential Absorption Spectroscopy) has been developed at the University of Munich. The system measures path integrated concentrations of atmospheric pollutants on a distance of up to 5 km. It represents a second generation of CO2-lidars at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich.
