Abstract

We discuss an optical fiber-based continuous-wave coherent laser system for measuring the wind speed in undisturbed air ahead of an aircraft. The operational principles of the instrument are described, and estimates of performance are presented. The instrument is demonstrated as a single line of sight, and data from the inaugural test flight of August 2010 is presented. The system was successfully operated under various atmospheric conditions, including cloud and clear air up to 12 km (40,300 ft).

摘要

我们讨论了一种基于光纤的连续波相干激光系统，用于测量飞机前方未受干扰空气中的风速。描述了该仪器的工作原理，并给出了性能估计。该仪器以单视线方式进行了演示，并展示了2010年8月首次试飞的数据。该系统在包括云层和高达12公里（40,300英尺）晴空的各种大气条件下均成功运行。
