Abstract:
1. A system for remote detection, the system comprising: a source of coherent laser pulses; a parametric amplifier configured to convert the coherent laser pulses into first beam pulses at a first wavelength value and second beam pulses at a second wavelength value different from the first wavelength value; a first optical component configured to select third beam pulses from the coherent laser pulses at a third wavelength value different from the second wavelength value and the first wavelength value; a second optical component configured to delay at least one of the first beam pulses, the second beam pulses, and the third beam pulses in order to create delayed beam pulses; and a focusing component configured direct a substantially collinear combination of the delayed beam pulses and two of a set of: the first beam pulses, the second beam pulses, and the third beam pulses, onto a line, the line being substantially perpendicular to a direction of propagation of the collinear combination.
