Abstract:
A narrow-band atomic blocking (bandstop) filter capable of high aerosol rejection has been developed for lidar applications. Using this filter, and our proposed new high-spectral-resolution lidar technique, laboratory measurementsof atmospheric temperature and backscatter ratio have been made, with an accuracy of 1 K and +/-3%, respectively.
