Bellingham, WA: The International Society for Optical Engineering, 1986. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. Format is 8.5 inches by 11 inches. vi, 219, [3] pages. Figures. Formulae. References. Ex-Naval Research Library, surplused, with usual library markings. Meeting sponsored by SPIE, National Research Council of Canada, Universite Laval, and Defence Research Establishment Valcartier. The meeting had the following sessions: Component Development I and II, Theory and Experiment, Laser Radar Applications I and II. It includes an Addendum and an Author Index. There were several papers presented by NASA researchers, on topics such as Laser Docking System Radar Flight Experiment, Amplitude modulated laser system, and Lidar technology experiment from space shuttle. Various papers on laser radar technology and applications are presented. The topics considered include: eye-safe solid lasers for lidar applications, practical DF laser for ranging applications, ultrafast surface barrier photodetectors, performance analyses for peak-detecting laser radars, multiple scattering for laser beams propagating in a layered atmosphere, laser radar cross section of objects immersed in the earth's atmosphere, measurements of pulse coherence in mode-locked TEA-CO2 lasers, and single longitudinal mode operation of a continuously tunable high pressure TE-CO2. Also discussed are: amplitude-modulated laser system for distance and displacement measurement, minilaser rangefinder, laser docking system radar flight experiment, improved optical resonator for laser radars, design of frequency-stable TEA-CO2 lasers, HgCdTe photodiodes for heterodyne applications, acoustooptic spectrum analyzer for laser radar applications, laser cloud mapper and its applications, scanning lidar bathymeter for water depth measurement, and fluorescence lidar for land and sea remote sensing. Condition: Good.
