Abstract :
Summary form only given. This paper is concerned with the dynamic characteristics of narrow band optical filters operating at 532 nm in aerial lidar systems for underwater studies. In this paper two filters are reported a Faraday anomalous dispersion filter and a dichroism excited atomic line filter.
