Abstract: A four wavelength backscattering depolarization LIDAR designed for polar stratospheric cloud and stratospheric aerosol measurement is described. The system uses the following wavelengths: 355 nm, 532 nm, 750 nm, and 850 nm. These wavelengths, obtained by means of the third- and second-harmonic of a Nd: YAG laser and by means of a tunable Ti: Sapphire laser, are chosen in a way to better characterize the particel size of such stratospheric aerosols. They are not emitted simultaneously as the LIDAR system is designed with only two detection channels permitting to detect, in the analog and in the photon counting mode, both the direct and the depolarized backscattered signal. The system has been operational in northern Finland since the end of November 1991.
