Abstract :
A mode-locked laser-based dual-frequency lidar with tunable tones separation is demonstrated, allowing a dynamic tradeoff among robustness and sensitivity of measurements and enabling integration with photonic-based radar. Velocity measurements for different tones separation are demonstrated.
