High Resolution Range/Doppler Ladar Using Broadband Coherent Optical Processing

摘要

A new approach to ladar reception and processing that uses quantum interference in an S2 holographic material is presented. The S2 ladar approach enables wideband (>10 GHz), Doppler-resolved, high dynamic range correlative ladar processing of coded or noisy waveforms, as well as parallel Doppler processing and multi-beam operation.
