Abstract

The possibility of using biaxial nonlinear crystals in the optical converters of femtosecond radiation pulses for laser sounding of the atmosphere has been studied. A method of broadband monitoring of the atmosphere composition using the differential optical absorption spectroscopy technique is described. The results of the numerical simulation of the lidar monitoring of gaseous components of the atmosphere using frequency-converted femtosecond laser radiation pulses are presented.
