  • Abstract
    A scheme for lidar measurements of multicomponent gas mixtures in the mid-IR region using a newly developed fast-switching, frequency-agile optical parametric oscillator (OPO) system combined with multivariate statistical methods has been implemented and tested. The scheme adopted was able to predict the composition of the remote hydrocarbon gas mixture within the uncertainty of the pre-determined gas composition.
