Description
The Montpellier Raman Lidar is a prototype in its final form, designed and built to fulfil the requirements of CTAO. It will provide atmospheric profiles at 355, 387, 532, and 607 nm. It incorporate two distinctive design elements, a gated photomultiplier protocol to avoid excessive light coming from very low altitudes and an automatic alignement system. It is ment to be installed at the southern site of CTAO in Chile in 2028. We present latest results obtained after a 12 months periods of tests at the Observatoire de Haute Province, France. Extinction profiles has been calculated for both 355 nm and 532 nm to altitudes up to 10km and will be presented.
