One Micron Laser Doppler Radar

This small business innovation research SBIR Phase I program is to conduct research on a one micron laser Doppler radar under contract N00014-88-C- 0645 from the Office of Naval Research. The assembly and test of a breadboard one micron Continuous Wave CW laser Doppler system has been planned under this Phase I SBIR program. This is the progress report for period 9 September 1988 thru 15 February 1989, and provides a summary of work performed under this contract. It may be noted that laser doppler system is sometimes known as laser radar, LADAR or LIDAR, thus, these three terms will be used throughout this report for the system.
