title: [Method for retrieving pollution gas concentration from Raman lidar return].
abstract: Raman lidar is an important tool for the detection of atmosphere pollution, and inversion for lidar returns is an important process. The key for inversion is to get transmission exponential function exp [integral of 0 (R) [alpha(lambda1, z) - alpha(lambda2, z)]]. Three methods with extinction coefficient as the center are presented. First, 532 nm atmospheric extinction coefficient was used to indirectly obtain alpha(lambda1, z) and alpha(lambda2, z). This method has been used generally by people. Two new methods were proposed: 1, reference gas with approximate Raman wavelength is used so that alpha(lambda1, z) = alpha(lambda2, z). 2, Mie-Rayleigh scattered return with wavelength lambda1 or lambda2 is used to compute exp [integral of 0 (R) [alpha(lambda1, z) - alpha(lambda2, z)]].
