Fluorescence lidar for remote monitoring of plant

The laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) characteristic of plant is directly linked to the photosynthesis. The LIF lidar for remote monitoring of plant has been suggested as one of the useful tools to identify plant species and determine its physiological status for a long time. So recently a LIF lidar for remote sensing of plant in Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics is developed. It transmits laser beam at wavelength of 354.7 and 532 nm, and receives elastic echo and fluorescence echo at
