← ScienceWhich undesirable outcome impairs a lidar system using coherent laser pulses when measuring atmospheric aerosol distribution?
A)Speckle limits precise range resolution✓
B)Brewster Angle inhibits backscatter reception
C)Chromatic aberration blurs point clouds
D)Nonlinear effects broaden pulse widths
💡 Explanation
Speckle reduces the accuracy because interference of coherent waves scattered from different aerosols causes random intensity variations in the lidar return signal, therefore limiting range resolution, rather than chromatic aberration which affects imaging systems.
