Abstract:

As one of the most effective method of ocean environment monitoring, airborne ocean fluorescence lidar has been developed in many countries, and has been widely used in operation. Following the trend in the world, in this paper, a 512 channels ICCD was used as ocean lidar’s detector. With a 70uJ single pulse energy, 355nm laser and the 512 channels ICCD, we simulated the performance of airborne ocean lidar in laboratory. The water sample was put in 5 meters and the fluorescence signal was collected with a 100mm diameter lens. The experimental results shows a good signal noise ratio. Based on the simulation experimental results, we can include that a real airborne ocean lidar with a 20Hz, 80mJ single pulse energy, and 200mm diameter collection telescope has nearly the same performance with the lab lidar system.
