Abstract
We describe a new one-dimensional synthetic aperture imaging laser radar (ladar) using the resonant sensitivity of a microchip laser to frequency-shifted optical feedback and galvanometric scanning of the target under investigation. In our experiment, the laser is both the source and the detector, providing optical amplification with self-aligned heterodyne detection. By using galvanometric scanning, we achieve an along-track spatial resolution better than the diffraction limit.
