Coherence Cloning Using Semiconductor Laser Optical Phase-Lock Loops [PDF]
We demonstrate the concept of coherence cloning where the coherence properties of a high-quality spectrally stabilized fiber laser are transferred to a commercially available high-power DFB semiconductor laser (SCL) using an optical phase-lock loop.

New Design Antenna and Optimization of S‐Band Radar Networks Using CSRR Technology
In this paper, a new design and analysis of a highly compact metamaterial antenna array for radar applications operating in the S‐band (2–4 GHz) is presented. To enhance the electrical and radiation characteristics of the proposed antenna, a slot was introduced into the radiating element, and a novel power divider was employed.

Backscatter Transponder Based on Frequency Selective Surface for FMCW Radar Applications [PDF]
This paper describes an actively-controlled frequency selective surface (FSS) to implement a backscatter transponder. The FSS is composed by dipoles loaded with switching PIN diodes. The transponder exploits the change in the radar cross section (RCS) of

What's Next for Snow: Insights From the NASA Terrestrial Hydrology Program Community Snow Meeting
Abstract Earth's snow cover strongly influences the climate system and represents an important resource for agricultural, industrial, and domestic water use. The last decade of snow‐focused research has improved our understanding of snow across scales. These efforts have culminated in new snow measurement instruments and methods, operational models for

Multiple source frequency-modulated continuous-wave optical reflectometry: theory and experiment [PDF]
We propose and demonstrate a novel approach to increase the effective bandwidth of a frequencymodulated continuous-wave (FMCW) ranging system. This is achieved by algorithmically stitching together the swept spectra of separate laser sources.

A FMCW-FSK Combined Waveform for Multi-Target Detection in FMCW Radar
Frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar has been widely applied in many fields. Modulated waveform is usually designed to solve the coupling problem of range and velocity in multi-target situation. A FMCW-FSK combined waveform is proposed in this work, which takes the advantages of FMCW waveform and FSK waveform.
