Paper Abstract
We report the application of an actively stabilized CW mode-locked Nd:YLF laser to the problem of range-Doppler imaging. A laboratory demonstration of cm range and cross-range resolution is described. The effect of target speckle and glint on signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and signal processing are discussed. Because of the wide range of mode-locked pulse and pulse train durations achievable with the solid state laser system, the single shot signal-to-noise ratio can be maximized. A Nd:YLF oscillator and Nd:glass amplifier laser system has distinct advantages over other high power laser systems in range-Doppler applications.
