  1. George Avdikos, PhD Raymetrics S.A. 1

  2. Executive Summary • Founded in Athens, Greece in 2002 • Mainly professionals with extensive experience and postgraduate education • Products for atmospheric monitoring purposes • Company designs, constructs, sells and supports products • Global coverage and strong sales in emerging markets • Solid client base of research institutions • New technology creating markets, including volcanic ash and visual ranging 2

  3. Lidar system types/choice

  4. Aerosol Parameters vs Instrument Type

  5. LB and LR Series Vertical LIDARS LB Series Backscatter LIDARs LR Series Raman LIDARs Most Raymetrics LIDARS sold are from 2 major model series: LB Series Backscatter LIDARs (relatively simple) LR Series Raman LIDARs (more complex and accurate) Data Example-Planetary Boundary Small vertical model shown sealed and open with PC extended Large vertical model shown sealed and open whilst operating 5

  6. Products recently sold/ CUSTOM solutions • Many options available – 3D scanning systems, vertical pointing systems (small and large) and LIDAR telescopes • Many options available for CUSTOMIZATION, including varying laser type/energy, telescope size (200, 300, 400mm standard, others on request), number and type of detection channels, etc • “Standard” products are modular and are therefore customizable • Fully custom-designed LIDARs also available 355nm eye-safe scanning 355p+s, 387nm (mainly for volcanic ash) 400mm cassegrainian telescope for Raman systems LR321 (3+2+1 channels) Raman sold recently to India 6

  7. Size of a (custom) Raman LIDAR system Operating parameters Laser pulse energy: 10 – 200 mJ @ 532 nm 20 – 100 mJ @ 1064 nm 10 – 70 mJ @ 355 nm Repetition rate: 10 or 20 Hz Diameter of the primary mirror: 200-400 mm Specifications • Total range • Spatial resolution • Temporal resolution • Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) • Accuracy of retrieved parameters 3 Elastic (355, 532 & 1064)+ 2 Raman (387 & 408) 1 depolarization channel – 532p+s sold to India (Bose Institute) in 2014 7

  8. Analysis, design and manufacturing of a (custom) Raman LIDAR system (1) Full simulation analysis in order to find the optimum configuration according to client’s needs and applications

  9. Analysis, design and manufacturing of a (custom) Raman LIDAR system (2) Telescope - Full Optical analysis with Zemax WSU - Full Optical analysis with Zemax Full mechanical analysis and design with Solidworks

  10. Advanced Lidar solutions Mobile van equipped with lidar and other instruments 10

  11. Recent activity: fully automated multiwavelength lidar (CITRA project) – under development(1) System overview Lidar overview 11

  12. Recent activity: fully automated multiwavelength lidar (CITRA project) – under development(2) +/- 45 calibration unit Automated PMT unit (filter wheel) Licel Bore module Automated WSU unit Automated APD unit 12

  13. Raymetrics Global Coverage Sales Permanent Distributors Non-permanent or in discussion for distribution 13

  14. Key Advantages • Experience - Raymetrics has been in the LIDAR market longer than competitors • Scientific Knowledge - background in the technology within the scientific community, having helped bring LIDAR from academia to the marketplace • Prestigious Client List - including the UK Met Office, European Space Agency (ESA), German Aerospace Centre (DLR) and Meteo France • Participation in European Research Networks - collaboration with European Lidar Network (EARLINET) ensures quality and standardization/compatibility • Focus only on LIDARs - many competitors are technology companies focused on other technology • Close (and friendly!) collaboration with well-known companies like Licel (supplier of electronics) and Quantel (supplier of lasers). Optical components are also supplied only by well-known companies like Omega Optical (dichroic beamsplittters), Materion (interference filters), Laseroptik (HR mirrors/laser windows) etc. • Customization - systems are tailored to users, making us more flexible than rivals • After sales SUPPORT for many many years by Raymetrics experts 14
