Some aerospace applications of lasers
Abstract
The paper briefly characterizes three applications of the laser in applied and experimental aerospace science. These are trajectory mapping of satellites, wind tunnel flow visualization, by laser anemometry, and the Raman effect for measuring concentration and temperature in gaseous media.
