Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The lidar technique for stable measurement of temperature has not been realized. A new high-spectral-resolution lidar technique is proposed for measuring the profiles of atmospheric temperature in daytime. Based on the theory of high resolution Rayleigh scattering, the feasibility and advantages of using potassium Faraday dispersive optical filters as blocking filters for measuring atmospheric temperature are demonstrated. Furthermore, I have developed two type of transmitter for the compact and simple temperature lidar. One is a metallic vapor laser and the other is tapered semiconductor optical amplifier system by seeding with continuous-wave diode laser. I succeeded actual remote temperature measurement of indoor air and upper air using this technique.
