title: Atmospheric remote sensing of water vapor, HCl and CH(4) using a continuously tunable Co:MgF(2) laser.
abstract: A differential-absorption lidar system has been developed which uses a continuously tunable (1.5-2.3 mum) cobalt-doped magnesium fluoride laser as the radiation source. Preliminary atmospheric measurements of water vapor, HCl, and CH(4) have been made with this system, including both path-averaged and rangedresolved DIAL measurements at ranges up to 6 and 3 km, respectively.
