Abstract

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a nondestructive sensor technology for detecting underground objects. GPR requires large-aperture antennas to survey a remote location precisely because of the expansion of microwaves. We propose a laser-driven GPR (LGPR) that uses microwave radiation from a laser plasma to achieve remote sensing. LGPR is expected to provide good spatial resolution with a small antenna. We selected a subnanosecond laser pulse as a suitable radiator for LGPR (L-S band). Experimental results show that the LGPR system can detect aluminum disks buried in sand.
