CO2 laser radar
Abstract
The status of coherent infrared radar technology at Lincoln Laboratory is reviewed. The Firepond laser radar (1.2 m aperture, 10 kW) is described and some of its accomplishments are presented. Technology developments relevant to compact radars (10 cm aperture, 10 W) are discussed as is the construction of a transportable measurements radar. Representative data from this and related compact radars is presented.
