Based on the geometrical analysis, the near-field overlapping area shape of an off-axis laser lidar, which is formed by the telescope field of view and the laser distribution, is divided into three types, and the analytical formula for calculating the overlapping factor of off-axis lidar is given. According to the formula and the Gaussian distribution of the laser mode, the curve of the overlapping factor with the altitude of the Mie scattering lidar in our Laboratory is obtained. Using the curve, the lidar return signal under different weather conditions in Chengdu is corrected, based on which the return signal is retrieved by the Klett inversion method, and the curves of the atmospheric extinction coefficient varying with the altitude are obtained. The results show that the atmospheric extinction coefficient obtained by the correction method in the study is accordant with the practical weather condition.
