Abstract

This paper treats the dependence of concentration accuracy, dynamic range and the product of concentration and path length on the measurement accuracy of the lidar instrument. Limiting noise sources are investigated for the measurement of DMMP vapor at a test range. Atmospheric turbulence combined with speckle from hard targets and interference from various dusts and smokes are the noise sources that are considered.
