COLIBRI represents the next generation of compact LIDAR.

Combining lightness, ultra-compact size and low power consumption is designed to monitor the space-time distribution of Particulate Matter in the near field and is one of the best LIDAR systems for air quality monitoring on UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), remotely piloted aircraft and balloon sonde.

The device works in the UV region, at 343 nm and can detect both the co-polarized and cross-polarized elastic signal and the N2 Raman echo. The linear depolarization allows identifying particulate shape.
