The high spectral resolution lidar (HSRL) technique employs a narrow spectral filter to separate the aerosol and molecular scattering components from the echo signals and therefore can retrieve the aerosol optical properties and lidar ratio (i.e., the extinction-to-backscatter ratio) profiles directly, which is different from the traditional Mie lidar with assumed lidar ratio. Accurate aerosol profiles measurement are useful for air quality monitoring. In this paper, a spaceborne HSRL lidar system simulation model based iodine vapor cell filter was presented. According to three different atmosphere aerosol distribution models and the uncertainties of atmosphere temperature and pressure, the signal to noise ratio (SNR) and the relative errors profiles of the backscattering coefficients of this lidar was simulated theoretically in daytime and nighttime. The result shows that the errors of aerosol backscattering coefficients are smaller in the aerosols dense area than in the sparse area. As altitude increases, the relative error of backscattering coefficient is increased. The relative backscattering coefficient error is within 16.5% below 5 km with 30 m range resolution and 10 km horizontal resolution.

The study of underwater in-situ detection is an important research trend in underwater detection. In view of the design requirements of the spectral data acquisition system for underwater in-situ detection, this paper used the software and hardware co-design method, from two aspects of software and hardware. A prototype system of spectral data acquisition system based on Xilinx Zynq chip and linear array CCD detector was designed and implemented. Through theoretical analyzing, experimental debugging and verification analyzing, the results shown that the system could collect and store the spectral data in real time. It also had the characteristics of low noise and had a small electronic structure, which laid a foundation for the spectral data acquisition of underwater in-situ detection.

This work demonstrates a green-band Scheimpflug lidar system by employing a high-power continuous-wave 520-nm laser diode as the laser source and an image sensor as the detector. Atmospheric remote measurement was continuously performed from October 28th to November 3rd on a near horizontal path, while a severe haze occurred during this period. The time-range backscattering map is obtained and the distribution of the atmospheric extinction coefficient is retrieved from the lidar signals based on the Fernald inversion algorithm. The spatial-averaged aerosol extinction coefficient shows good linearity with the PM10/PM2.5 concentrations measured by a local national pollution monitoring station.
