Abstract
The design and development of the new Raman lidar of the Space Physics Laboratory, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre is presented here. This station is located at 8 degrees 33 minutes N, 77 degrees E in India. This lidar can monitor atmospheric temperature (using Pure Rotational Raman Spectrum), aerosol extinction coefficient, water vapor profile and clouds. Advantages of Pure Rotational Raman method over Vibrational Raman method are presented with the result obtained using Vibrational Raman lidar. Optical layout of the lidar system, PRRS method and aerosol extinction measurements are described briefly.

Time-delay compensation in data-acquisition process for rotational Raman lidar

TL;DR: A measuring system is established, with a Digital Delay/Pulse Generator as the chief component, which is not usually used as a measuring instrument, which could reach about 50ps and the compensating method is provided to improve the positioning accuracy of the lidar system.

Atmospheric temperature measurements using a pure rotational Raman lidar

TL;DR: The use of a double-grating monochromator in the lidar for isolating two portions of the pure rotational Raman spectrum (PRRS) of N2 and O2 and suppressing the line of aerosol light scattering is experimentally shown to be very efficient.

Rotational vibrational–rotational Raman differential absorption lidar for atmospheric ozone measurements: methodology and experiment

TL;DR: A RVR Raman DIAL setup that uses a narrow-band interference-filter polychromator as the lidar receiver and it is shown that on further improvement of the receiver performance, ozone measurements in clouds are attainable with the filter-polychromator approach.
