Rapid-scanning laser receiver.
A random-access rapid-scanning laser receiver concept utilizing the acoustooptic effect and suitable for applications from the near uv through the long-wave ir region was designed and demonstrated in the field at a 10.6-microm laser radar. Experimental results demonstrating its utility for image detection, radar, atmospheric optics measurements, and vibration isolation are presented.
