A multi-channel Raman lidar has been developed, allowing for the first time simultaneous and high-resolution profiling of hydrogen gas and water vapor. The lidar measures vibrational Raman scattering in the UV (355 nm) domain. It works in a high-bandwidth photon counting regime using fast SiPM detectors and takes into account the spectral overlap between hydrogen and water vapor Raman spectra. Measurement of concentration profiles of H and HO are demonstrated along a 5-meter-long open gas cell with 1-meter resolution at 85 meters. The instrument precision is investigated by numerical simulation to anticipate the potential performance at longer range. This lidar could find applications in the French project Cigéo for monitoring radioactive waste disposal cells.

We report a hyperspectral Raman imaging lidar system that can remotely detect and identify typical plastic species. The system is based on a frequency-doubled, Q-switched Nd:YAG laser operating at 532 nm and an imaging spectrograph equipped with a gated intensified CCD spectrometer. Stand-off detection of plastics is achieved at 6 m away with a relatively wide field of view of 1 × 150 mm, thus providing the groundwork for better solutions in monitoring marine plastic pollution.

Localized operating conditions inside boilers, heat recovery steam generators, or other large thermal systems have a huge impact on the efficiency, environmental performance, and lifetime of components. It is extremely difficult to measure species accurately within these systems due to the high temperatures and harsh environments, locally oxidizing or reducing atmospheres, ash, other particulates, and other damaging chemical species. Physical probes quickly suffer damage and are rendered nonfunctional.

Due to the fact that the vibration and pure rotational Raman signals collected by the temperature and humidity profile lidar were 3-4 orders of magnitude weaker than the Mie scattering signal, they were susceptible to electronic and white noise interference, which seriously affected the system signal-to-noise ratio. In this paper, an improved VMD-WT filtering method was adopted to extract effective signals and denoise. The processing outcome of several filtering algorithms was evaluated, and noisy signals were simulated to confirm the algorithm's efficacy.

Resonant absorption at 780 nm suppresses Mie/Rayleigh scattering and the steep gradients in refractive index near the 780 nm absorption lines separate Brillouin scattering from Raman scattering in liquid water. The opposing spatial displacements of the Stokes and Anti-Stokes shifted Brillouin peaks yield a measurement of their spectral shifts and thus the temperature or salinity of the water.
