Abstract

Coherent laser radar systems in the mid-IR wavelength region can have advantages in low-altitude environment because they are less sensitive to scattering, turbulence, and humidity, which can affect shorter- or longer-wavelength system. We describe a coherent laser radar at 3.6 microm based on a single-frequency optical parametric oscillator and demonstrate the system over short ranges outdoors. The system was used to make micro-Doppler measurements from idling trucks that were processed to give surface vibration spectra.
