CE376 – Compact Automatic Aerosol LiDAR
The CE376 Compact Automatic Aerosol LiDAR is a high-performance, eye-safe elastic backscatter LiDAR system designed for continuous, unattended monitoring of aerosols in urban, industrial, and remote environments. Operating in both the visible (green) and near-infrared (NIR) spectral ranges, with an integrated depolarization channel, the CE376 provides advanced aerosol characterization—including stratification and particle-type analysis. With its robust thermal enclosure, the CE376 ensures reliable operation in harsh environmental conditions without the need for shutdowns, human supervision, or routine maintenance. It is compact, portable, and easily deployable both indoors and outdoors, making it ideal for industrial dust emission tracking, urban air quality monitoring, volcanic ash detection, and comprehensive aerosol profiling.
- The typical measurement range (with AOD = 0.2) exceeds 15 km at night and 5 km during the day
- Very short blind zone (< 150 m) with a full overlap at 700 m (Green, NIR)
- Real time «quicklook» visualization
- Automatic backscatter/extinction profiles (Klett inversion with AOD or LiDAR ratio)
- Aerosol characterization for each layer and stratification analysis
- Compliance with EN-60825/ANSI Z136 (Eye-safety)
- Planet Boundary Layer (PBL) and cloud detection
- Robust optical and electronic architecture for transport and long-term deployment
- Straightforward polarization calibration through remote access
- Air quality monitoring & forecast
- Climate change studies
- Airport / Aviation
- Atmospheric sciences
- Aerosol and cloud modelling
- Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP)
