Research abstract

Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Multispectral Modular Artificial Scene Generator (MOAST) technology based on a multi-module design (each module for one specific spectral band, with scalable and reconfigurable spectral channels) integrated with high-brightness broadband light sources, high dynamic range spatial light modulators (SLMs) and a miniature optical design. By implementing fast pixel-wise optical modulation of SLM in each spectral band independently, MOAST enables scene generation with unique spatial, spectral, and temporal signatures (i.e., multiple scene component characteristics such as scenes with specific dispersion rates at different locations and distances.
