Abstract

Separation capability of singly and multiply scattered components in a lidar receiving system based on the use of spatial filtering of lidar returns is considered. A calculation example for a return power density is shown. A procedure for determination of a multiple scattering spot parameter is described. Experimental results of sounding the clouds are presented. Various instrumental realizations of the spatial filters for the practical use in elastic scattering lidars are discussed.
