Abstract

Computer simulation of the Raman lidar for remote measurement of the hydrogen halide molecules concentration at the maximum permissible concentration level and above was performed and the optimal parameters of such lidar were determined. Using the previously proposed variant of the Raman lidar equation its parameters estimation were made for lidar measurements of the studied molecules of concentration at a given level in the atmospheric boundary layer during horizontal ranging at the distance up to 1500 m in the synchronous photon counting mode. This equation takes into account the finite width of the laser line and the hardware function of the Raman lidar, as well as the spectral dependence of the vibrational Raman differential cross sections of hydrogen halide molecules, the extinction coefficients of the laser radiation in the atmosphere and the photodetector spectral sensitivity. It was found that the proposed Raman lidar can measure the concentration of hydrogen halide molecules at the maximum permissible concentration level at the distance up to 89 m (for hydrogen bromide), 277 m (for hydrogen fluoride) and almost 1486 m (for hydrogen chloride).
