Abstract: An analysis is made of a lidar designed on the basis of a broadband repetitively pulsed IR parametric oscillator for monitoring multicomponent aerosol and gaseous atmospheric pollutions. It is shown that efficient parametric generation of femtosecond IR radiation can be obtained in a scheme using the properties of group velocity matching.
