  • Abstract
    As an experimental verification of a novel application of the laser-Raman radar, frequency-shifted Raman components of a Q-switched ruby-laser pulse from atmospheric molecular gases and from chemicals in an oil plume, such as CO2, CO, SO2, O2, and N2, were analyzed selectively. These results demonstrate the practical usefulness of this new optical system as a real-time air pollution probe.
