Abstract

As an optimal solution of the problem of electromagnetic compatibility in laser sensing of the atmosphere, a photoelectronicic system based on the complete galvanic decoupling of an input circuit sensitive to electromagnetic noise is proposed for the first time. The 32-channel photoelectronicic system operates in the photon counting mode and has a TTL/CMOS compatible output matched to a load on a 50-Ω cable.
