Abstract

An algorithm is presented for estimation of the logpower difference needed in DIAL observations for a system assumed to use only a single laser that is tuned to different wavelengths sequentially. Account is taken of the nonlinear measurement equation, missing observations and signal fluctuations by use of adaptive Kalman filter techniques, and filter performance is demonstrated with simulated data.
