SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION A study on several optical assembly has been conducted in order to find the best configuration system which guaranteed a good signal started from the lowest possible altitude. The optimized optical system has been obtained with a choice on F- number of 2.5. This optimized optical system has been realized for a compact Lidar system which allowed to test both with simulated and measured results its Overlap function. The test results shown an Overlap function of a few tens on meters (~120m). alessia.sannino@fisica.unina.it alessia.sannino@fisica.unina.it 25 September, Capri 25 September, Anacapri
