A Prototype Model of Laser Radar

  • Published:
Journal of Russian Laser Research Aims and scope

Abstract

We examine and test in the laboratory our laser pulse remote sensing system, based on the number of cycles of a local oscillator. We calculate the range of an object, using a peak transmission power of 2 mW from a Mesa HP-pumped He–Ne laser with a pulse frequency of 3 kHz and a pulse width of 150 ns; also, we establish a correlation between the counted cycle and the laser wavelength. The results of outer range measurements with a range resolution of 45 m at a distance of 60 meters are presented. Here, photons are used for tracking and object identification, which being encoded using encoding technology, will be challenging to duplicate, and our optical radar will not be misplaced.
