摘要: Daytime lidar operation in the middle atmosphere requires a narrow field of view (FOV) receiving telescope for effective background reduction and high-transmission narrow-band detection. The laser beam position relative to optical axis is subject high-frequency disturbances such as turbulence, vibration, wind well comparable slow drift (thermal effects laser, stability building, etc.). We developed stabilization system (BSS) that ensured pulse-to-pulse with ~ 3 μrad remaining jitter, allowing 60 FOV. With BSS single-pulse data acquisition system, optimal alignment can be controlled, information on FOV divergence far derived. capability stabilize against all internal external below repetition rate laser.
