Multimirror autodyne lidar for local detection of hostile gases.
We describe an autodyne lidar with multiple external mirrors by using an analytical approach presented previously [Appl. Opt. 41, 7087 (2002)]. The use of multiple target mirrors allows one to detect and locate the concentration of species between any pair of neighboring mirrors.
