国内正处于实施21世纪海洋“丝绸之路”战略部署的关键时期, 发展海洋光学技术是支撑国家中长期发展战略的重要方向。海洋激光遥感技术是海洋光学的重要研究领域之一。激光雷达作为近年来快速发展的新型主动遥感技术, 由于其具有高精度及高时空分辨率的优点, 已在海洋激光遥感领域得到广泛的应用。文中基于布里渊散射激光雷达和海洋成像激光雷达介绍了海洋激光遥感技术的研究进展, 以及我国在水体参数测量、水下目标探测和海洋地形地貌的激光遥感中的应用。

China is in the critical period of implementing the strategic deployment of the 21st Century Ocean "Silk Road". The development of ocean optical technology is an important direction to support the country′s medium and long-term development strategy. Ocean laser remote sensing technology is one of the important research fields in ocean optics. As a new active remote sensing technology developing rapidly in recent years, lidar has been widely used in the field of ocean laser remote sensing because of its high precision and high spatial-temporal resolution. In this paper, based on Brillouin scattering lidar and ocean imaging lidar, the research progress of ocean laser remote sensing technology and its application in water parameter measurement, underwater target detection and laser remote sensing of ocean topography in China were introduced.
