Abstract

This paper describes a light-weight, low volume, CO₂ ladar based on the multiple-folded laser (MFL). The MFL is an rf excited CO₂ waveguide laser with a unique, patented multiple folded resonator design. High resolution ladar data for selected hard targets is presented as well as MFL laser performance characteristics.
