Research abstract
RL Associates Inc. proposes to conduct a feasibility study leading to the development of a narrowband, wide field of view, volume holographic filter for high altitude Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) systems used in antisubmarine warfare (ASW). We propose a filter element composed of many individual volume holographic gratings, spatially separated to form an array, and arranged in such a way that their narrow individual fields of view complement each other to produce a wide field of view for the entire element. This new type of spectral filter composed of an array of volume holographic gratings can be tailored to a broad acceptance angle while maintaining extremely narrow spectral bandpass of 1 Å or less. Diffraction efficiency of greater than 60% has been demonstrated by RL Associates in previous volume holographic filter work.
