The authors analyzed laser-induced fluorescence spectra of healthy vegetation and vegetation under stress at fluorescence excitation within the blue spectral range. It was shown that a use of fluorescence excitation within the blue spectral range and the registration of fluorescent radiation in three narrow spectral ranges with central wavelengths of 680, 690 and 740 nm allowed one to detect reliably whether the vegetation is under stress. Ratios of the intensity of fluorescence radiation at the wavelengths of 680, 740 nm and at the wavelengths of 690, 740 nm were used as the identifying factors of plant stress.

The authors describe a laser lidar model for remote measurement of instantaneous speed and direction of atmospheric winds. The authors provide the results of experimental studies in the surface layer of the remote correlation laser method for measuring instantaneous wind speed and characteristics of aerosol backscatter coefficient heterogeneities of the atmosphere. It is shown that the measurement of aerosol size heterogeneities and adaptive selection of size measurement framework in accordance with the found criterion can increase determination accuracy of instantaneous wind speed by correlation lidars.

In this paper the authors study capabilities of the monopulse optical location method of measuring reflection coefficient of natural fossils. It was shown that use of quadrature formulae and a regularization method allows to reconstruct spatial distribution of smooth varying reflectivity under the conditions of measurement noise in a wide coverage area of the optical locator

In this paper the authors describe a laser method of detecting oil pollution on rough sea surface by means of angle scanning. It was shown that the laser method allows to detect oil pollutions in a broad band on sea surface with high probability of correct detection and low probability of false alarm.
