Abstract

A high resolution Nd-YAG pulsed Laser Radar "LIDAR" system is proposed for detecting and tracking Airborne cooperative retro-reflector carrying targets against noise, clutter and back-scatter sources. A previous range computation method is improved and new possibilities of coherent heterodyne detection and phase conjugate elements are discussed.
