A LIDAR system based on Er-laser
with eye-safe radiation (the wavelength is 1.54 *m) has been created and
tested for smoke and other pollution in air. Both theoretical estimations
and preliminary experiments show that the needed signal registration may
be possible at 10–12 km depending on smoke scattering parameters.
