Research abstract

A novel signal encoding/decoding method for laser ranging is proposed in response to solicitation AF96-186. Coherent burst ranging utilizes low cost diode lasers to achieve high precision ranging under ambient light conditions while operating at inherently eye-safe power levels. Proprietary signal processing methods to be developed will allow single-shot range resolution of approximately 1 mm at ranges exceeding 10 km; individual range measurements will be possible at rates exceeding 100 kHz. The objective of this proposal is to demonstrate simplified hardware implementations of the coherent burst method, which will ultimately lead to development of simple new laser ranging systems for a variety of military and commercial applications.
