Development of uv laser source based on distributed feedback dye lasers for use in measurement of ozone in the lower atmosphere

This system has been set up and it generates selected wavelenghts at 282.9 nm and 286.4 nm with the energy of 30 µJ/pulse and 60 µJ/pulse respectively. A DIAL system using this UV transmitter is designed to measure the vertical distribution of ozone with high temporal and spatial resolution. Our simulations of received DIAL signal indicate that the altitude of ozone distribution measurement can reach to over 5000 m along with range resolution of 100 m.
