Laser signal source detection

In this paper we contemplate the possibility of laser signal emission detection, reception and identification as well as practicable methods of laser signal emitter localization. In doing so, this possibility can be described as the product probability of signal extraction based on signal power features and signal identification based on signal information structure. Thus, emission power range, laser beam intensity divergence angle range, pulse repetition frequency range, etc are presented.

We formalize the forming of laser power density spacing. From mathematical point of view, we describe the process of laser emission receiving by a spaced field-of-view receiver. It represents the framework for localization of the received laser emission, assuming that the steepness of the received pulse edge determines the localization accuracy, which, in the general case, weakly depends on laser signal or transmitted pulse volume.
