Abstract
The temperature sensitivity of Raman backscattering from atmospheric nitrogen, oxygen, and water vapor is considered over the range of temperatures expected in the troposphere. These results are applied to the Raman spectrum induced by a XeF excimer laser, which produces three line groups centered at approximately 349, 351, and 353 nm. Bandpass filter characteristics are determined for this case.
