内容記述 | Presented here is an analysis of the relative effect of each stochastic phenomenon on the accuracy of LIDAR measurements. The preferred averaging procedure to be applied is noted. The analysis takes into account the temporal correlation of the transmitted power variations which are associated with laser modal noise, short term temporal correlation of atmospheric turbulence, and 'white' additive noise. A distinction is made between two types of systems, one that transmits a sequence of pulses tuned into two wavelengths, but with a relatively large time separation, and another that transmits pulses in two wavelengths almost coincidentally. This distinction is important because the effect of speckle noise can be minimized when the pulses at two wavelengths are sent within the correlation time of the atmospheric turbulence. The presented analysis compares the signal to noise ratio in the calculation of the ratio beta (sub 1)/beta (sub 2), as achieved by using two methods of calculations: first averaging the data related to each wavelength and then taking the ratio, and first taking the ratio and then averaging. For both methods, normalization with respect to the transmitted power is considered, either prior to or after the averaging of the signals in each wavelength. |
