Synthetic Array Heterodyne Detection: Developments within the Caliope CO{sub 2} DIAL Program

Conference ·
OSTI ID:94587

A new technique, Synthetic Array Heterodyne Detection, offers a wider field of view and improved signal to noise for coherent DIAL systems by reducing speckle interference. We have implemented a synthetic multi-pixel array using a CO{sub 2} laser on a single element HgCdTe photodiode.
