LB Series Backscatter
LIDARs
LR Series Raman LIDARs
Most Raymetrics LIDARS sold
are from 2 major model series:
LB Series Backscatter
LIDARs (relatively simple)
LR Series Raman LIDARs
(more complex and
accurate)

Products recently sold/
CUSTOM solutions
 Many options available –
3D scanning systems,
vertical pointing systems
(small and large) and
LIDAR telescopes
 Many options available
for
CUSTOMIZATION,
including varying laser
type/energy,
telescope size (200,
300,
400mm
standard, others on
request), number and
type
of
detection
channels, etc
355nm eye-safe scanning
355p+s, 387nm (mainly for volcanic ash)
 “Standard” products are
modular
and
are
therefore customizable
 Fully
custom-designed
LIDARs also available
400mm cassegrainian telescope
for Raman systems

Key Advantages

Experience - Raymetrics has been in the LIDAR market longer than competitors

Scientific Knowledge - background in the technology within the scientific
community, having helped bring LIDAR from academia to the marketplace

Prestigious Client List - including the UK Met Office, European Space Agency
(ESA), German Aerospace Centre (DLR) and Meteo France

Participation in European Research Networks - collaboration with European
Lidar Network (EARLINET) ensures quality and standardization/compatibility

Focus only on LIDARs - many competitors are technology companies focused on
other technology

Close (and friendly!) collaboration with well-known companies like
Licel (supplier of electronics) and Quantel (supplier of lasers). Optical components
are also supplied only by well-known companies like Omega Optical (dichroic
beamsplittters), Materion (interference filters), Laseroptik (HR mirrors/laser
windows) etc.

Customization - systems are tailored to users, making us more flexible than rivals

After sales SUPPORT for many many years by Raymetrics experts
