Lateral coherence of aerosol-scattered laser radiation

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

To assess the probability of detection (by interferometric techniques) of illumination by a coherent source, we characterize the lateral coherence of the off-axis aerosol scattered radiation by applying the van Cittert–Zernike theorem. We find that, for 1.061-μm radiation at a target range of 1 km, the scattered radiation beyond 3.5 cm off axis does not display appreciable lateral coherence.
