Detecting up to three wavelengths, including co-polar and cross-polar channels, the LR111-ESS-D200 is probably the only 3D scanning LIDAR powerful enough to detect nitrogen Raman at 387nm, allowing for more accurate data and better particle distinction.
Inbuilt climate control, UPS (for safe shutdown and automatic re-start on power loss), rain sensor and optional rain hood, make the system suitable for nearly all environments.
The LR111-ESS-D200 model aerosol LIDAR can be used for a variety of purposes, including remote visibility measurement (Slant Visual Range, Vertical Optical Range), 3D cloud base height, fog detection, pollution and dust tracking and many more.
• Range up to 10km horizontal, 15km vertical (with excellent Signal to Noise Ratio >10)
• Proven operation in airport and aviation settings
• Complies with ISO 28902-1:2012 - Ground based remote sensing of visual range with LIDAR
