Abstract

The Differential Absorption Lidar (DIAL) method is reviewed and performance evaluations are presented for a NO₂ detection system. Discussions on the preferred wavelengths for candidate gases, and a review of a new laser radar DIAL performance equation are presented. Applications in the areas of drug interdiction, forest fire detection and combustion research, and military uses are discussed.
