摘要
Textron Systems, under the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command's (SMDC) Field Ladar Tactical Transition Demonstration (FLTTD) program, has been evaluating coherently detected, atmospheric aerosol (cloud) backscattering as a method to extend the utility of the DIAL (differential absorption lidar) technique. This paper presents recently obtained long range, (40 km), multi-wavelength DIAL measurements utilizing cloud formations and a laboratory positioned absorption test cell. Good agreement between cloud and continuous wave (CW) laboratory measurements of the absorption spectra of ammonia have been obtained.
