Influence of Temperature and Salinity on the Spectral Characteristics of Brillouin-Scattering in Water — •Daniel Koestel and Thomas Walther — TU Darmstadt, Institut für Angewandte Physik, 64289 Darmstadt, Germany

In our group we are developing a LiDAR-system for remote sensing the temperature and salinity in the ocean upper-mixed layer (~100m depth). We successfully demonstrated the functionality of this setup with a temperature resolution of up to 0.07°C and a depth resolution of up to 1m [1]. Both, spectral Brillouin shift and Brillouin linewidth (FWHM), depend on temperature and salinity. The spectral shift dependency of said parameters has already been studied extensively in the past [2,3]. This contribution aims to bring light to the less researched linewidth dependency on temperature and salinity [4]. For this purpose, we generated spontaneous Brillouin-scattering at 530nm in water in a laboratory environment at different temperatures and salinities. We will present our latest results and discuss further steps in the development. [1] A. Rudolf, Th.
