2 Micron CW Vibration Sensing Laser Radar

Abstract

This paper describes a 2 micron CW laser radar vibration sensor and presents preliminary results from a field trail conducted at Redstone Arsenal during July '98. Data was collected from a variety of targets at several ranges and varying atmospheric conditions. Also similar systems with wavelengths at 1.5 and 10.6 microns were operated from the same location and at the same time to allow later determination of the wavelength dependence of signals and interfering effects.
