Laser remote sensing: yesterday, today and tomorrow
Main Article Content
Abstract
Development of laser remote sensing (lidar echniques) is discussed for atmosphere and ocean investigation. Examples of Raman lidars based on vibrational and rotational energy states of molecular species are demonstrated for remote detection and monitoring of pollution, as well as for studies of dynamics of different components and their parameters. Coherent laser radars allowed remote measurement of speed and vibrations, Doppler velocity information being crucial for the solution of the problem of windshear detection and flight security. A promising trend in laser radar development is incorporation of range and velocity data into the image information. Gated imaging, as one of the 3D techniques, demonstrated its prospects (looking through scattering media, vegetation, dress, etc.) for military and civilian use.
