Marine LIF technology

Development of compact and budget-friendly marine LIF LiDARs

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

How does LIF LiDAR work?

Laser-Induced Fluorescence LiDAR is measuring by exciting the fluorescence light with a laser pulse and analyzing the spectrum of this light response

The main advantage – is high-speed remote survey of the upper water layer in situ from various carriers

Highest sensitivity, the widest range, and high accuracy of remote measurements - 16% for Chl-a, 10% for TSS, and TOC (calibration by water sampling is required)
