Abstract
A theory of the double-edge technique for lidar measurement of wind speed D oppler shifts was recently presented by Flesia and Korb [Appl. Opt. 33, 432 (1999)]. It is shown here that the technique proposed by Flesia and Korb t o achieve equal responsivity to aerosol and Rayleigh backscatter signals wa s previously conceived and demonstrated by another group.
