Applications des lasers à l'étude de l'atmosphère

Wavelength stabilization and control of the emission of pulsed dye lasers by means of a multibeam Fizeau interferometer

“…Introduction. -The determination by laser soundings (lidar technique) of physical parameters and minor constituent concentrations in the atmosphere is a continuously expending experimental field [1]. The usual spectral requirements on linewidth and line positioning accuracy for atomic or molecular spectroscopy are more difficult to fulfil duel to the use of high energy pulsed lasers with narrow line emission necessary for remote measurements.…”
