Abstract

This paper presents study results of the technical features of Cr²⁺:ZnSe laser, which performs differential absorption LIDAR measurements for atmospheric constituents and pollutants. Simulation of atmospheric optical depth was carried out using HITRAN2012 for a Cr²⁺:ZnSe laser spectral wavelength tunability range on the line-by-line basis. The best wavelengths pairs of λ_ON and λ_OFF and suitable gases to be detected in DIAL measurements of several molecular species were chosen.
