title: Initial measurements using a 1.54-microm eyesafe Raman shifted lidar.
abstract: We have demonstrated an eyesafe lidar system for cloud and aerosol studies using 45-mJ/pulse 1.54-microm radiation generated by wavelength shifting the output from a pulsed Q-switched Nd:YAG laser using a CH(4)Raman cell.
