Raymetrics provides a range of highly customizable backscatter, depolarization and Raman LIDARs, designed to cover almost all of a very huge set or range of scientist's requirements. Customers can select themselves components and build the entire system. (see below).
Upgrades, such as the addition of extra wavelengths, can be accounted for in the initial design. Requests for LIDARs from outside the standard range can also be accommodated (such as multiple telescopes and emitters, Differential Absorption LIDARs, etc - see here).

CORE MARKET
Since beginning operation in 2002, Raymetrics' core client base has been the atmospheric research community. The company has therefore maintained close ties with academia over the years in order to provide products suitable for conducting high quality research.
EARLINET COMPLIANCE
Our LIDARs comply with EARLINET (European LIDAR Network) requirements. This includes a Wavelength Separation Unit (WSU) specifically designed to perform the +/-45 degree test (for calculating the depolarization constant), specialist tools for conducting the Telecover test (for checking fine alignment), correction tools for daytime measurement and electronics and PMT performance tools.
Detectable Parameters :
- Backscatter coefficient
- Water vapour profiles
- Atmospheric molecules
- Ångström exponent (backscatter and extinction-related)
- Aerosol type determination (dust, maritime, fire smoke, urban haze)
- Aerosol microphysical properties (volume and surface conc., refractive index)
- Single scattering albedo (aerosol)
- Colour ratio
- Depolarization ratio
- Extinction coefficient
- Extinction-to-backscatter ratio
- Optical depth
MODULAR DESIGN
Raymetrics LIDARs are designed to be modular, allowing a huge number of available configurations and upgrade options. This design enables our customers to tailor the systems to their specific requirements
