AbstraktAbstract

The Baikal-GVD deep-sea Cherenkov detector, whose deployment in Lake Baikal has been ongoing since 2016, currently represents the largest neutrino telescope in the Northern Hemisphere. The principle of the telescope's operation is based on the registration of Cherenkov radiation produced by the products of neutrino interaction in the aquatic environment using the spatial structure of photodetectors. Laser light sources specially designed for the Baikal project are used to calibrate and measure the characteristics of the telescope's detecting system. The article describes the design and features of the functioning of calibration laser sources, presents the results of their operation as part of the telescope, and discusses issues of further development of the laser-calibration system.
