Abstract
This paper concerns the merging of the lightwave and microwave technologies for improvements in sensitivity and resolution of aerial light detecting and ranging (LIDAR) measurements. By the transposing of a microwave signal on a blue-green optical, carrier, a hybrid LIDAR-RADAR detection scheme was created. Simulations and laboratory measurements showed a dramatic 17 dB optical (34 dB electrical) suppression of the backscatter clutter and corresponding improvement in contrast for shallow underwater targets.
