Abstract:
An exact analytical description of the geometrical factor of a lidar is obtained as an integral of a product of the Bessel functions within the framework of a small-angle approximation. A way to represent it in terms of elementary functions is proposed. The behavior of the geometrical factor along a path is analyzed for the case of sounding with separated source and receiver.
