Practical problems with CO2 laser radar tests
Abstract
Practical optical problems connected with beam paths and components which occur during a CO2 laser radar operation are described. Heterodyne detection with acousto-optical modulation and the Doppler laser radar are discussed. The laser radar and studies of target signatures with a coherent laser radar are presented.
