An ideal method to obtain valuable information on atmospheric pollutants is through the use of LIDAR.SEO proposes in this Phase I to use a Q-switched Ho:YAG laser to pump an Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO) with AgGaSe2 nonlinear crystal as the gain medium for the generation of continuously tunable output from 3 um to 12 um. This laser system will be used as the transmitter for a LIDAR system to detect atmospheric pollutants. Phase I will consist of developing an OPO system tunable from 3 to 12 um and some prellmlnary LIDAR measurements.

获得有关大气污染物的有价值信息的理想方法是使用激光雷达。SEO 在第一阶段建议使用 Q 开关 Ho:YAG 激光器泵浦光学参量振荡器 (OPO)，以 AgGaSe2 非线性晶体作为增益介质，以产生从 3 um 到 12 um 的连续可调输出。该激光系统将用作激光雷达系统的发射器来检测大气污染物。第一阶段将包括开发可在 3 微米到 12 微米范围内调谐的 OPO 系统以及一些初步的激光雷达测量。
