ABSTRACT:
This disclosure presents a non-contact precision optical device, including methods for measuring distances to an arbitrary target and various configuration geometries, for using polarization maintaining (PM) optical fiber components in a polarization diplexing scheme to construct a version of a dual chirp coherent laser radar that is immune to environmental effects.
