Laser Sounding Equation For Real Aerosol Lidar
When remote sensing the gas molecules and aerosol in the atmosphere the lidar equation for the infinitely narrow lasing line is used. But real lasers generate radiations on the wave length of finite width. At the distances of sensing from 2 km to 5 km the increase of lasing line width gives the decrease of power of the elastic backward scattering. It is confirmed by the obtained results of two variants of solution of the lidar equation for the elastic single type scattering.
