Abstract
The book describes modern methods of receiving laser signals, viz., by interferometry, by nonlinear optics, by laser amplification, and by heterodyne mixing. The theory of these methods is considered as applied to the problem of laser radars. Investigated in detail are features such as the resolving power of interferometry and nonlinear-optics method, the efficiency of parametric conversion of laser signals, the sensitivity of laser amplifiers, and problems of optimal heterodyne detection. Methods of speckle interferometry and adaptive optics are described. The book is aimed at a large circle of scientists and engineers active in the problem of recording of laser signals, as well as to students in advanced courses of the corresponding specialties.
