Active track and beacon illuminator lasers, which are critical components of most high energy laser beam control systems, have benefited significantly over the past decade from technology advancements that have enabled more than an order of magnitude growth in average output power while maintaining excellent beam quality. An overview of how high energy laser system illuminator requirements are developed, along with a short history and current status of diode-pumped solid-state laser illuminator technology development in the United States, will be provided.© (2004) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.

MWIR imaging experiments with large F-number optics on LEO spacecraft

The invention discloses a full-wave-band high-resolution imaging optical telescope suitable for daylight observation. The optical telescope comprises a main imaging telescope, a coarse tracking system, a composite axis tracking system, a self-adaption optical system and an imaging system, wherein the coarse tracking system controls a rack of the main imaging telescope so that a detection target can be stably tracked; light from the target passes through the main imaging telescope system and then enters the composite axis tracking system to be subjected to low-order tilt correction, the corrected target light enters the self-adaption optical system to be subjected to high-order error correction, and the target light obtained after high-order error correction enters the imaging system for high-resolution imaging. The imaging system comprises multiple imaging detectors of different wave bands, and full-wave-band high-resolution imaging of the target can be achieved.

This moving body observation device has been configured so that a moving body recovery unit (42) detects a region, in which a moving body (1) is present, from a distance image generated by a radar device (30), and estimates a brightness distribution of the moving body (1) from: a condensed light spot image within the region in which the moving body (1) is present, from among a plurality of condensed light spot images detected by the optical detector (25); and a wavefront estimated by a wavefront estimation unit (26).

Moving body observation device and moving body observation method

Computer simulations are used to demonstrate the feasibility of operating a low-order adaptive optics system for observation of bright low-earth orbiting satellites during daylight hours. The system considered includes speckle postprocessing of partially compensated focal plane images to produce reconstructions with resolution near the diffraction limit of the telescope.
