Spectral resolution refers to the ability of a sensor to define finer wavelength intervals. Thus, the finer the spectral resolution, the narrower the wavelength range for a given channel or band. 3, record 1, English, - high%20spectral%20resolution%20sensor

Ces travaux de recherche avaient pour objectif d'évaluer l'utilité de plusieurs types de données de télédétection à des fins de cartographie de la structure de la forêt et de ses attributs, à une échelle régionale. Plusieurs capteurs ont été évalués [dont] un capteur à haute résolution spatiale, (iv) AVIRIS, un capteur à haute résolution spectrale et [...] un capteur lidar qui mesure directement la hauteur et la structure du couvert végétal de la forêt. 2, record 1, French, - capteur%20%C3%A0%20haute%20r%C3%A9solution%20spectrale

La résolution spectrale désigne la capacité d'un capteur à utiliser des fenêtres de longueurs d'onde plus étroites. Ainsi, plus la résolution spectrale est fine, plus les fenêtres des différents canaux du capteur sont étroites. 3, record 1, French, - capteur%20%C3%A0%20haute%20r%C3%A9solution%20spectrale

The imaging LIDAR prototype comprises a compact optical head, an electronic box, and is controlled via a PC. The transmitter produces 150 W peak power at 905 nm wavelength with two semiconductor lasers at 500 Hz rate. The light is coupled into optical fibres and directed to the target via a triplet lens. The backreflected light is collected with a receiver lens and fed through optical fibres to 18 avalanche photodiode detectors(APD). 2, record 2, English, - imaging%20lidar
