Research abstract
Not Available The Air Force desires an instrument for determining the characteristics of a laser spot in a test range. This is a challenge, because conventional imaging sensors don't respond fast enough to measure pulse trains, and conventional non-imaging detectors don't measure spot location. Advanced Optical Systems, Inc. (AOS), proposes to satisfy this need with an innovative laser spot measurement system based on the Savart plate. A modified Savart plate system encodes angle of arrival information into a polarization rotation. This information is extracted very accurately. The system uses only two or four detector elements, which have a 100% duty cycle. Therefore, the system can have very wide bandwidth and measure all elements of a pulse train.
