The Extinction-to-Backscatter Ratio of Tropospheric Aerosol: A Numerical Study
TL;DR: In this paper, the extinction-to-backscatter ratios for the Nd:YAG wavelengths are calculated for continental, maritime, and desert aerosols; the corresponding aerosol components are varied within the expected natural variabilities of the particle number mixing ratios.

Differential Absorption Lidar Techniques in the Determination of Trace Pollutants and Physical Parameters of the Atmosphere
TL;DR: In this article, a light source is used as a light transmitter to collect the light on a detector for the conversion of the optical signal in an electrical signal which is much easier to handle.

Mie Scattering with Complex Index of Refraction
TL;DR: In this paper, a set of computations of exact Mie functions related to the scattering of electromagnetic waves on dielectric and partially absorbing spheres is described, and the effects of increased absorption index on the extinction and absorption cross section, on the complex amplitude, and on the intensity and polarization of the scattered flux are illustrated by means of diagrams.
