Abstract Laser Raman radar offers a promising approach to the remote sensing of atmospheric pollutants in stack plume. An analysis revealed that the combination of the second harmonic of a Nd:YAG laser, a synchronous single photoelectron counting (SSPC) scheme, and narrow passband interference filter employed for light source, signal processor, and separation of Raman-scattered light respectively gave the most sensitive system for stack effluent monitoring. Using a laser Raman radar constructed on the basis of the analysis, the concentration of SO2 in the plume emitted from a 150 m high stack of a power plant was measured at a distance of 228 m.
