RANGE IMAGING LIDAR

摘要

Light (32) scattered by a portion of a fluid medium (16) illuminated by a beam (18) of substantially monochromatic light (14) is received within a field-of-view (34) nominally along an axis (36) oriented in a different direction (?) relative to the beam (18) and processed by an interferometer (44) to generate a corresponding fringe pattern (60) that is detected and processed to generate at least one measure (A, M, u, t, B, p, Ts, V, ASR, 68) of the fluid medium (16) at a plurality of different ranges (R).
