    Area of Science:

    • Atmospheric science
    • Optical engineering
    • Remote sensing

    Background:

    • Stratospheric measurements are crucial for understanding atmospheric processes.
    • High-power lidar systems require sophisticated optical designs to handle intense signals.
    • Protecting sensitive detectors from strong backscatter is a key engineering challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and analyze optical systems for a high-power lidar for stratospheric measurements.
    • To ensure effective shielding of the detection system from high-intensity lidar returns.
    • To present system requirements and design results for stratospheric atmospheric analysis.

    Main Methods:

    • Optical system design and analysis for lidar transmitter and receiver.
    • Incorporation of an optical chopper for signal shielding.
    • System construction and deployment at Mauna Loa Observatory.

    Main Results:

    • Successful design and analysis of optical systems for high-power lidar.
    • Implementation of a design feature to shield detectors from intense lower atmosphere returns.
    • Construction and operational deployment of the lidar system.

    Conclusions:

    • The designed optical system enables effective stratospheric measurements.
    • The lidar system is operational and providing regular data on ozone, temperature, and aerosols.
    • The optical design successfully addresses the challenge of high-intensity signal shielding.
