  • Systems and methods for long-range, high-resolution laser radar range detection
    Patent number: 7372551
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for long-range, high-resolution, laser radar range detection. In one embodiment such a system includes an optical pulse modifier configured generated a stretched optical pulse and an optical amplifier configured to increase an optical power of the stretched optical pulse The system can further include an optical spectrum analyzer configured to determine a wavelength of a spectral peak that results from interference between a first amplified stretched pulse that is reflected from a target and a second amplified stretched pulse that is spectrally reversed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 25, 2006
    Date of Patent: May 13, 2008
    Assignee: University of Central Florida Research Foundation
