title = "Incoherent Light Sources-Based Low Probability of Detection and Covert Radars over Atmospheric Turbulence Channels",
abstract = "In this paper we are concerned with the low probability of detection (LPD) and covert radars employing optical incoherent sources. Key idea of our proposed LPD/covert radar concept is to hide the radar signal in solar radiation by employing the broadband (>30 nm) Erbium-doped fiber amplifier source, modulating such source output beam with a constant amplitude modulation format at high-speed, and detect the presence of the target by the cross-correlation method. To demonstrate the proposed concept we developed an outdoor free-space optical (FSO) testbed at the University of Arizona campus. To improve the tolerance to atmospheric turbulence effects the adaptive optics is used. We demonstrate that the LPD/covert radar concept over strong turbulent FSO channel is feasible in a desert environment.",
