Abstract

We carried out depolarization light detection and ranging (LIDAR) measurements for the first time using a coherent white light continuum with multi-wavelength backscatter measurements. The white light continuum from the UV to the IR region was generated in Kr gas by a terawatt femtosecond laser system. The LIDAR system consisted of a depolarization channel at 450 nm and the five-wavelength Mie scattering channels at 350, 450, 550, 700, and 800 nm. This technique can potentially open a promising avenue toward simultaneous depolarization LIDAR at multi-wavelength. © 2006 The Japan Society of Applied Physics.
