Long range , high resolution laser radar
Initial laser radar experiments used CO* gas lasers at 10 pm [ I]. These lasers enabled either stable cw operation or high-gain pulsed output and have been used for wind measurements in the atmosphere. Despite the success of COz lasers, there has recently been an increased interest in the use of solid state, 1 urn laser technologies to be used for laser radar studies. The advantages of such a s...

متن کاملThree-dimensional imaging laser radar with a photon-counting avalanche photodiode array and microchip laser.
We have developed a threedimensional imaging laser radar featuring 3-cm range resolution and single-photon sensitivity. This prototype direct-detection laser radar employs compact, all-solid-state technology for the laser and detector array. The source is a Nd:YAG microchip laser that is diode pumped, passively Q-switched, and frequency doubled. The detector is a gated, passively quenched, two-...
متن کاملControl of a long range high-precision positioning system
Among a variety of actuators, Lorentz actuators are often used as fine actuators in DSA systems under an environment where disturbances are expected at fine actuators’ base. Their advantage is that they show an almost ideal zero stiffness characteristics, which is that disturbances from bases do not transmit to the moving parts [1]. Such zero-stiffness DSA systems have been applied to wafer sca...
متن کاملHigh resolution three-dimensional flash LIDAR system using a polarization modulating Pockels cell and a micro-polarizer CCD camera.
An innovative flash LIDAR (light detection and ranging) system with high spatial resolution and high range precision is proposed in this paper. The proposed system consists of a polarization modulating Pockels cell (PMPC) and a micro-polarizer CCD camera (MCCD). The Pockels cell changes its polarization state with respect to time after a laser pulse is emitted from the system. The polarization ...
