COMMENTS ON THE PROBLEM OF AN OPTICAL RADAR SYSTEM

Abstract

The need for optical radar equipment is discussed. The selection of the most suitable receiving system is analyzed and calculations for the requirements concerning the radiating source for such a system are computed. The usefulness of commercially available lasers is investigated. Solid state research providing new materials for laser-like devices is discussed.
