✦ Synopsis

Compact Doppler lidar with monostatic receiving geometry has been developed and tested. Laser source of the lidar is continuous wave fiber laser ELD-1000 with 1.5 μm wavelength and 1 W output. For distances up to 100 m the range of measurable wind velocities is 1.5 – 20 m/s. Results obtained show that performance conditions for the lidar corresponds to the visibility range up to 1 km. Sonic vibrations with small amplitudes (∼ 10 nm) of remote targets with diffuse reflection has been registered by this device at distances up to 60 m.
