Research abstract
Physical Optics Corporation's (POC's) R&D Division will develop an imaging MWIR sensor in which an acousto-optic tunable filter is a key component. Taking advantage of the unique ability of an acousto-optic tunable filter to adjust its transmission curve instantly under the control of a varying multifrequency radio signal, POC proposes to develop a hyper-spectral imaging sensor capable of transmitting a set of spectral intervals simultaneously and of varying the number and locations of these spectral intervals in microseconds, under computer control. The proposed sensor will enhance target contrast by adjusting the set of spectral intervals on the basis of ambient illumination, target spectral signature, and background spectral characteristics.
