This paper demonstrates a renewed concept and applications of the generalized methodology for atmospheric light detection and ranging (LIDAR) capability prediction as a continuation of a series of our previous works, where the dimensionless parameterization appeared as a tool for comparing systems of a different scale, design, and applications. The modernized concept applied to microscale and milliscale LIDARs with relatively new silicon photomultiplier detectors and traditional photomultiplier tube and avalanche photodiode detectors allowed prediction of the remote sensing instruments' performance and limitations. Such a generalized, uniform, and objective concept is applied for evaluation of the increasingly popular class of limited-energy LIDARs using the best optical detectors, operating on different targets (back-scatter or topographic, static or dynamic) and under intense sky background conditions. It can be used in the LIDAR community to compare different instruments and select the most suitable and effective ones for specific applications.
本文展示了大气光探测与测距（激光雷达）能力预测通用方法的全新概念及应用，这是我们此前一系列工作的延续，其中无量纲参数化作为比较不同规模、设计和应用系统的工具出现。将现代化概念应用于配备相对新型硅光电倍增管探测器以及传统光电倍增管和雪崩光电二极管探测器的微尺度和毫尺度激光雷达，能够预测遥感仪器的性能和局限性。这种通用、统一且客观的概念用于评估日益流行的有限能量激光雷达类别，这些激光雷达采用最佳光学探测器，在不同目标（后向散射或地形、静态或动态）以及强烈天空背景条件下运行。它可在激光雷达领域用于比较不同仪器，并为特定应用选择最合适、最有效的仪器。
