ESTIMATION OF THE THRESHOLD SENSITIVITY OF THE LIDAR SYSTEM FOR DETECTION OF VAPORS OF NITROCOMPOUNDS
Experimental results on estimation of the threshold sensitivity of the lidar detector of vapors of nitrocompounds are presented. As a source of low concentrations of vapors of nitrocompounds in the atmosphere, a generator of standard concentrations of trinitrotoluene vapors was used. The threshold sensitivity of the lidar detector was 1.3•10 -12 g/cm 3 at a probability of detection 97 %.
