Chaotic LIDAR for Naval Applications
Abstract
The original proposal identified the following three tasks: Task 1 involves the generation and characterization of a wideband CLIDAR signal suitable for system-level experiments. Task 2 involves a system-level investigation into the underwater propagation/scattering characteristics of the CLIDAR signals. The investigation will be performed as a function of both optical wavelength and water turbidity (absorption and scattering) in order to determine the range resolution/accuracy and signal to noise performance that can be expected using CLIDAR. Task 3 involves the development of an advanced chaotic laser, or CLASER, for use as a compact and cost-effective optical source for CLIDAR. This approach integrates a laser gain medium into an OOR to produce an integrated chaotic optical source.
