Abstract

The paper considers the problems of optimization of the molecular scattering signal registration system at the Siberian lidar station for the photon counting mode. The modern element base makes it possible to design recorders with a gigahertz counting rate that allow to implement hardware methods for evaluating and accounting for the effect of dead time. Modified photon counting systems allow more efficient use of algorithms of the nonlinear distortion correction. Simulation of operation of a photon counter with various methods of recording events and methods of processing the recorded signals is performed. A method is proposed for determining the value of the dead time and evaluating the limits of applicability of the photon counting mode of the modified counter. A quantitative assessment of the advantage when using various correction formulas is carried out in comparison with the classical photon counting.
