Coherent infrared radar systems and applications II; Proceedings of the Meeting, Arlington, VA, April 7, 8, 1983
Abstract
Among the topics discussed are laser imaging radar sensors, applications of FM-CW CO2 waveguide laser radar, the field testing and signature analysis of an imaging CO2 laser radar, coherent laser radar performance, a tunable, coherent CO2 lidar for atmospheric aerosol backscatter and attenuation measurements, and ground-based coherent lidar measurements of tropospheric and stratospheric parameters. Also covered are a multiatmosphere CO2 laser for use in differential absorption lidar, a tunable, high pressure, RF-excited CO2 laser, the evaluation of a catalyst for closed cycle operation of high energy pulsed CO2 lasers, the heterodyne applications of tunable semiconductor diode lasers, the design and performance of wideband Bragg cells, characteristics of range-spread speckle targets, a modified distance transform and linking algorithm for image skeletonization, and turbulence and speckle effects in laser radar target returns.
