摘要： A system is presented for the remote detection and imaging of objects at night. In accordance with the present invention, a laser is used to generate short pulses of infrared light with pulse widths on the order of nanoseconds. The laser light is expanded by optics and projected at the target scene. An intensified CCD (charge coupled device) camera is electronically shuttered after an appropriate time delay such that the image formed by the camera is composed of infrared light backscattered by the target from a range of r.

摘要： An imaging UV/visible fluorosensing and Raman lidar system comprises an optical sensor for simultaneously measuring temporally, spatially and spectrally resolved laser backscatter from on the land, on or beneath the surface of bodies of water and in the atmosphere. The present invention utilizes "active" interrogation or "passive" interrogation for remotely and non-destructively probing the spectrally-dependent optical properties of a scene. In the "active" mode, the optical sensor of this invention comprises a transmitter (preferably a tunable solid state laser (10)) which emits pulses of coherent light through a variable or adjustable field-of-view telescope (22) whereupon the light pulses (24) are then propagated towards a scene (26) (e.g., land, sea or atmosphere). Thereafter, laser backscatter (28) is collected by a second variable field-of-view telescope (30) and directed to an imaging system and spectrally dispersive optical subsystem.

摘要： A segmented mirror control system (10) is presented wherein an array of structural elements (e.g. mirrors) (10) can be actively positioned to maintain an accurate pre-determined overall shape. The present invention is "active" and so may be characterized as an Active Segmented Mirror Control "ASMC". The segments of a mirror or the reflecting panels, in for example, a radiotelescope, may be continually adjusted with ASMC to provide an accurate reflecting mirror of very large diameter even when disturbed by external forces. ASMC is a closed loop control system. That is, an array of sensors (16) is first used to measure differential position errors. This data is then processed to determine position actuator (14) commands. Finally, these commands are used to move the segments until the sensors are nulled and the desired shape is obtained.
摘要翻译：提出了一种分段镜控制系统，其中可以主动定位一组结构元件（例如镜子），以保持精确的预定整体形状。本发明是“有效的”，因此可以被表征为主动分段镜像控制“ASMC”。镜子或反射板的段，例如放射望远镜，可以用ASMC连续调节，以提供非常大直径的准确的反射镜，甚至在被外力扰乱时也是如此。 ASMC是一个闭环控制系统。也就是说，首先使用一组传感器来测量差分位置误差。然后处理该数据以确定位置致动器命令。最后，这些命令用于移动段，直到传感器无效并获得所需的形状。

摘要： A novel timing control method is utilized in conjunction with an imaging lidar system of the type disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,862,257. This novel timing control is employed in applications wherein the lidar system is mounted on an airborne platform. The timing control method of this invention completely eliminates the glint detector with associated signal conditioner used in the system of U.S. Patent 4,862,257, and instead, relies upon a signal derived from the aircraft altimeter to continually provide platform altitude status. Since the entire system is under the control of a computer, the altimeter signal can be interpreted and used to adjust total delay so as to automatically track changing platform altitude. It is now possible to initiate all timing from the occurence of the laser "lamp fire" signal. The total delay to camera "gate on" is now the "lamp-to-laser" delay, plus round trip platform altitude delay (computed from the altimeter signal), plus desired water depth delay, less system delays.

摘要翻译：与美国专利4,862,257中公开的类型的成像激光雷达系统结合使用新颖的定时控制方法。这种新颖的时序控制被用于将激光雷达系统安装在机载平台上的应用中。本发明的定时控制方法完全消除了美国专利4,862,257的系统中使用的相关信号调节器的闪烁检测器，而是依赖于从飞机高度计得到的信号来连续地提供平台高度状态。由于整个系统处于计算机的控制之下，高度计信号可被解释并用于调整总延迟，以便自动跟踪变化的平台高度。现在可以从激光“灯火”信号的发生开始所有定时。相机“门开启”的总延迟现在是“灯到激光”延迟，加上往返平台高度延迟（从高度计信号计算），加上所需的水深延迟，减少系统延迟。

摘要： An underwater manoeuvrable vehicle (10) is presented which carries an explosive charge and can be used for immediate removal or destruction of various menaces to navigation and other underwater hazards (58). The battery powered vehicle (10) is preferably air dropped from an airborne platform (12) which carries an imaging lidar system (36) to obtain an image of the vehicle (10) and the selected navigational hazard (58). An optical lidar downlink (132) is used to control the submerged underwater manoeuvrable vehicle (10) from the airbrone platform (12). The downlink (132) is pulse space modulated. Command signals (132) are decoded aboard the vehicle (10). Control in speed, heading and depth, as well as command detonation are available using this technique.
