Abstract

The paper reports the results of strobing the lidar signal by an electro-optical shutter (EOS). The authors discuss the possibility to reduce the backscattered signal power in the near field up to 10-12 times, to increase the probe pulse energy by an order of magnitude, and thereby to improve the signal-to-noise ratio in atmospheric sensing in the daytime.
