Interference of Backscatter from Two Droplets in a Focused Continuous Wave CO2 Doppler Lidar BeamSuperposition of backscatter from two silicone oil droplets in a lidar beam was observed as an interference pattern on a single backscatter pulse with a distinct periodicity of 2 & #61552; also agreeing extremely well with theory. Slightly differing droplet speeds caused phase differences in backscatter, resulting in the interference pattern.
