Recent activities in laser sensing at FOI

摘要

This paper will review some recent laser sensing activities at FOI. Due to shift of interest from our customer the coherent laser radar activities have been limited so the main part of the paper will be devoted to direct detection laser radars. Hopefully this overview will have some relevance for the CLR community. The presented activities include 3 D imaging, terrain mapping, land mine detection, aerosol lidar, bio detection, remote listening, high resolution range profiling and laser development. We also have some limited activities in retro communication, adaptive optics and beam steering. A recent review1 gives examples of laser sensing at FOI and elsewhere of relevance for defense and security applications.
