Abstract

A continuous wave (CW) CO₂ laser radar configured for Doppler imaging is described. The system produces a velocity image by scanning the laser beam across the scene, coherently detecting the scattered radiation and measuring any Doppler shift present. Examples of the images achieved are shown and an indication of the potential applications given.
