In theory, the HSRL method should expand the validity range of the atmospheric molecular density and temperature profiles of the Rayleigh LIDAR in the UTLS below 30 km, with an accuracy of 1 K, while suppressing the particle contribution. We tested a Spherical Fabry-Perot which achieves these performances while keeping a big flexibility in optical alignment. However, this device has some limitations (thermal drift and a possible partial depolarisation of the backscattered signal).
