Open Access Theses & Dissertations
Compared to high range resolution radar systems, chaotic LADAR (laser detection and ranging) has the potential of providing an increase in range-Doppler resolution by several orders of magnitude.
The purpose of this project is to determine system parameters and signal processing schemes required to build a high resolution chaotic LADAR. Specifically, the LADAR is based on a semiconductor laser that generates a wideband chaotic signal via optical feedback. The behavior of the laser output is modeled by changing the control parameters of the delay differential equations that dictate the behavior of the laser output. Depending on the feedback level and …
