Abstract

A receiver system has at least one antenna that receives a plurality of signals, including a desired signal, across a wide band of frequencies. At least one tunable filter is in signal communication with the at least one antenna, and filters the plurality of signals to produce a plurality of filtered signals. Gain control circuitry is in signal communication with the at least one tunable filter, and produces a gain adjusted version of the filtered signals. A processing unit processes received signals in a portion of the wide band to extract signal characteristics of at least one undesired signal in the portion of the wide band. The at least one tunable filter is tuned based at least in part on the signal characteristics of the at least one undesired signal to maintain the SNR of the desired signal above a threshold level at the output of the gain control circuitry.

Abstract

A thermally-compensated optical system (30) has a thermally-responsive actuator assembly (38) between first and second optical components (32,34) arrayed along an optical axis. The actuator assembly has actuators (10) integrated into a collar encircling the optical axis. Each actuator has two interconnected beams (12a,12b) from a first 5 material and a rod (18) associated with the ends of both beams such that a distance between the ends is determined by a length of the rod. The rod is formed from a second material having a coefficient of thermal expansion different from that of the first material such that a variation in temperature causes deformation of the actuators, thereby varying a height of the actuators according to an effective coefficient of thermal expansion with 10 a magnitude greater than that of both materials. This adjusts a relative position of the first and second components along the optical axis.

Abstract

A system for illuminating a target in the presence of atmospheric turbulence includes a coherent beam combining (CBC) subsystem, an atmospheric wave-front sensor (AWS) subsystem, a multi-channel photo-detector (MCPD) subsystem, an auxiliary light source, and a receiving optical aperture. The CBC subsystem forms a multiplicity of CBC sub-beams and an reference beam, all of which fall in a wavelength band that is different from that of the auxiliary light source. The auxiliary light source may be a laser or a portion of the solar spectrum of the Sun. An AWS controller provides closed-loop compensation of atmospheric turbulence for low power auxiliary reflection and reference beams. A MCPD controller provides closed-loop compensation of high-frequency laser noise and transfers the wavefront correction from the reference to the high power CBC laser. The frequency of the MCPD controller is at least an order of magnitude greater than the bandwidth of the AWS controller.

Abstract

A laser imaging system is disclosed for generating an image of a target. The system includes a laser seeder for generating a laser beam. The beam is split into two beams, with one being sent to a CBC unit and the other to a reference unit. Both beams are broadened and the beam sent to the CBC unit is split into multiple beamlets which are transmitted to the target. A distance and velocity determination unit measures the distance to the target and the beam sent to the reference unit is delayed by a round trip period corresponding to the distance. The beam returned from the target is interfered with the broadened and delayed reference beam. An electrical signal corresponding to the combined beam is generated and used to phase lock all the CBC transmitted beams on the target and to construct an image of the target.

Abstract

The invention provides methods and apparatus for protecting a DPAL optical window from damage caused by exposure to alkali atoms in the DPAL gain medium, in which an ion-deflecting, applied electric field is formed inside an enhanced ionization region which is proximal to the DPAL optical window. Ionization inside this region is enhanced by photoionization and/or electrostatic discharge. Photoionization is either a single-photon process involving photons from an ionizing laser beam or a multi-photon process involving photons from an optical pumping beam and/or an ionizing laser beam. The invention may be used in combination with other window protection techniques proposed in the prior art.

Abstract

A CBC system includes an array of beam sources generating coherent beams directed towards a target. The beam sources have associated adjustable phase modulators and beam steering arrangements. For each of the beams in a subset of the beams, the corresponding beam steering arrangement is actuated to steer the beam, and the corresponding phase modulator is actuated to modulate a current phase of the beam between at least three phase states. A detector monitors an intensity parameter that varies as a function of an intensity of radiation impinging on the target. A controller calculates, for each of the beams in the subset, a current value that is representative of a relative intensity of the beam based at least in part on the monitored intensity parameter at each of the at least three phase states. The calculated value is indicative of a current position of the beam relative to the target.

The frame has a polygonal opening with a first diagonal extending across the width of a gap between the elements and a second diagonal extending transversely to the first diagonal. A crossbar is associated with the polygonal opening so as to span the second diagonal. The frame and the crossbar are formed from materials having differing coefficients of thermal expansion. The crossbar is deployed so as to determine a length of the second diagonal such that variation in temperature causes deformation of the frame, thereby varying a length of the first diagonal.

Abstract

A thermally-compensated optical system (30) has a thermally-responsive actuator assembly (38) between first and second optical components (32, 34) arrayed along an optical axis. The actuator assembly has actuators (10) integrated into a collar encircling the optical axis. Each actuator has two interconnected beams (12a, 12b) from a first material and a rod (18) associated with the ends of both beams such that a distance between the ends is determined by a length of the rod. The rod is formed from a second material having a coefficient of thermal expansion different from that of the first material such that a variation in temperature causes deformation of the actuators, thereby varying a height of the actuators according to an effective coefficient of thermal expansion with a magnitude greater than that of both materials. This adjusts a relative position of the first and second components along the optical axis.

Abstract

c) allow adjustment of relative phase offsets of the beams. A detector (16) monitors an intensity of the radiation impinging on an area of the target (T). A controller (18) receives the intensity parameter and controls a phase adjustment of the beams according to a deterministic (i.e., quantitative) measurement of a phase offset of each beam relative to a representative phase of the sum of all the other beams. This is achieved by using interferometric techniques, referred to herein as Target In-the-Loop Interferometry (TILI).

Abstract

Methods and devices provide a test signal to each of a plurality of antenna channels via a test signal line. Each antenna channel includes an amplitude adjustor and a phase adjustor associated with at least one antenna element. For each antenna channel, the test signal provided to the antenna channels is modulated to produce a modulated test signal. The modulated test signal is produced by: i) controlling the amplitude adjustor of the antenna channel to vary a current amplitude of the test signal between a plurality of amplitude states, and ii) controlling the phase adjustor of the antenna channel to vary a current phase of the test signal between a plurality of phase states. A received test signal received from the antenna channels is processed to determine amplitude and phase errors associated with the modulated test signals associated with the antenna channels.

Abstract

A coherence reconstruction apparatus generates measurements of atmospheric turbulence from light reflected by a target. The apparatus is in communication with a coherent beam combining (CBC) system which illuminates a target with one or more partially coherent beams from a seed laser. The apparatus includes a variable delay module and a phase shift interferometer (PSI). The delay module uses a measurement of target time-of-flight to form a coherent delayed reference signal from the CBC seed reference laser. The delay module may incorporate an electromagnetically induced transparency medium and/or an electro-optical modulator. The PSI combines the delayed reference optical signal with a target-reflected optical signal to form an interference pattern and to determine one or more turbulence phase correction measurements. The apparatus may include a controller for generating feedback and dynamic tuning signals.

Abstract

A system for illuminating a target in the presence of atmospheric turbulence includes a coherent beam combining (CBC) subsystem, an atmospheric wave-front sensor (AWS) subsystem, a multi-channel photo-detector (MCPD) subsystem, an auxiliary light source, and a receiving optical aperture. The CBC subsystem forms a multiplicity of CBC sub-beams and an reference beam, all of which fall in a wavelength band that is different from that of the auxiliary light source. The auxiliary light source may be a laser or a portion of the solar spectrum of the Sun. An AWS controller provides closed-loop compensation of atmospheric turbulence for low power auxiliary reflection and reference beams. A MCPD controller provides closed-loop compensation of high-frequency laser noise and transfers the wavefront correction from the reference to the high power CBC laser. The frequency of the MCPD controller is at least an order of magnitude greater than the bandwidth of the AWS controller.

Abstract

A targeting receiver operates with beam emitters. Each emitter generates coherent beams directed towards a target as a composite beam having an associated signature. For each composite beam, the target reflects a proportion of radiation intensity as a reflected radiation component. A receiver telescope collects target-reflected radiation and directs the radiation to a spatial filter. The reflected radiation includes radiation components, at least some of which are combined as a combined radiation composed of the reflected radiation components. Intensity of the combined radiation indicates the intensity of the composite beams impinging on the target. The spatial filter filters the reflected radiation by selectively passing the combined radiation. Each component of the combined radiation is identifiable by the signature associated with the composite beam corresponding to the component of the combined radiation. In certain embodiments, a distinguishing module is associated with the receiver and distinguishes the components based on the signature.

Abstract

A range-finding apparatus and method for measuring the range of a target illuminated by a coherent beam combining (CBC) system having at least two partially coherent sub-beams. The apparatus includes a phase modulation controller and a signal processor. The controller provides one or more optical phase modulation signals to the CBC system. The signal processor receives an initial measurement of target range, provided by either the CBC system or an external range-finding device and having a relatively large uncertainty, and a time-varying received intensity signal provided by the CBC system. The signal processor calculates frequency components of the intensity signal, forms rotated frequency components corresponding to a time-of-flight correction, calculates an objective function depending upon the rotated frequency components, determines a global minimum of the objective function, and calculates a corrected measurement of target range having an uncertainty which is less than that of the initial measurement of target range.

Abstract

Frequency synchronization methods provide synchronization among nodes of a decentralized communication network. At each of one or more nodes of a plurality of nodes that form a decentralized communication network, information is acquired that is indicative of a frequency associated with at least one other node of the plurality of nodes. For each of the one or more nodes, a frequency offset between a frequency of the node and a frequency of the at least one other node is determined, based in part on the acquired information.

Abstract

A method of assessing safety of a trajectory of units under test over a flight range includes: setting a mission trajectory of a unit under test, wherein nominal and dispersion trajectories of the unit under test are within a delineated area; extracting from the mission trajectory a plurality of initial conditions of the unit under test; for each extracted initial condition, simulating a malfunction, and calculating an orientation of the unit under test following each simulated malfunction using an orientation transfer function of the unit under test to simulate a malfunction maneuver. The method further includes, on the basis of this calculated orientation for each simulated malfunction, determining an impact point of the unit under test with a particular plane.

Abstract

A mechanism for orienting a payload support includes first and second transversely deployed drive assemblies, each having a motor that drives a drive arm. The payload support is directly pivotally mounted to a first drive arm. Connection between the second drive arm and the payload support is via a coupling linked to the second drive arm via a coupling rotary joint, and to the payload support via a support rotary joint. Both the first drive arm and the second drive arm are supported relative to the frame by sets of two bearing assemblies located on opposite sides of the center of rotation. Each of the bearing assemblies is preferably implemented as a loaded duplex bearing assembly, and most preferably with a back-to-back loaded duplex bearing assembly on each axis.
