Eye-safe coherent laser radar system at 2.1 μm using Tm,Ho:YAG lasers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An eye-safe pulsed coherent laser radar has been developed by using single-frequency Tm,Ho:YAG lasers and heterodyne detection. Returns from a mountainside located 145 km from the laser radar system and the measurement of wind velocity to ranges exceeding 20 km have been demonstrated with transmitted pulse energies of 22 mJ.
