Abstract

A coherent laser radar device is described which comprises a laser source (11), and two or more transceivers (84) are optically connected to the laser source by optical fiber cables (42, 48, 82) that are routed through an optical routing means (80). A detection means (27) is also provided, and radiation received by the two or more receivers (84) can also be optically coupled to the detection means (27) by optical fiber cables (82, 86, 90).
