Due to the severe interference from strong solar background light on the received signal, daytime ground-based lidar observation of the sodium (Na) layer is challenging. In this paper, a Na lidar permitting full-diurnal-cycle observation of the metal Na layer over Beijing, China (40.5°N, 116°E) was reported.

The time-resolved spectra of the air-breakdown plasma produced by the 1.06 microns beam of a Nd:YAG laser were investigated by using the time-delayed spectra and the spectral line evolution methods. The time evolutions of the short wavelength band and long wavelength band of the continuous spectra of the air-breakdown plasma have been measured.
