Simulation of Laser Beam Scattering from Complex Targets in the near Field

Abstract:

A model of laser fuse echo simulation based on radiometry is developed. Process of target/beam interaction is determined by target surface optical scattering properties, which can be characterized by bidirectional reflectivity distribution function (BRDF). Signal features of the near-zone echo wave scattered from complex target are analyzed. The results may provide reference for algorithm design of laser proximity fuse. The simulator has been successfully applied in semi-physical simulation of the fuse.
