Detection of laser light scattered from aerosols in a bright background using a balanced coherent receiver. Belzer, H., Rittenbach, A., & Habif, J. L. Opt. Continuum, 2(4):751–757, Optica Publishing Group, Apr, 2023. ![Detection of laser light scattered from aerosols in a bright background using a balanced coherent receiver [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex We experimentally demonstrate the detection of laser light, which has been scattered from micron-scale atmospheric particulates, using a balanced heterodyne detection system with a non-cooperative tunable laser as a local oscillator source. The signal generated by the coherent detection receiver is provided to a signal processing algorithm designed to discriminate scattered laser light entering the receiver from the incoherent background and internal receiver noise. A receiver operating characteristic quantifies the performance of the receiver and demonstrates that optical coherence can be used as a parameter for laser detection even after the process of optical scattering from a disordered media.
