摘要： An apparatus for optically coupling a light source with a light-receiving end face of an optical waveguide comprises a lens for focusing a light beam emitted from the light source at a focal point on the light-receiving end face of the optical waveguide. An adaptive coupler, positioned in the optical path, is responsive to a beam steering control signal for steering and aligning the focal point relative to the light-receiving end face of the optical waveguide. In one form, the adaptive coupler comprises a pair of transparent substrates having confronting, parallel inner faces, the inner face of one of the pair of substrates carrying a beam intercepting, optically transparent, constant potential electrode and the inner face of the other of the pair of substrates carrying an electrically resistive, beam intercepting, optically transparent film. A pair of spaced apart electrodes in electrical contact with the film apply a linear voltage gradient along the film. An electro-optical phase shifting medium is disposed between the confronting inner faces of the substrates. The application of selected voltages to the electrodes creates a linear voltage gradient along the aforementioned film on the inner face of the one substrate resulting in a linearly varying electric field between that film and the constant potential electrode creating a corresponding linear variation in the refractive index of the liquid crystal medium and a linear wavefront tilt in the intercepting optical beam.

摘要： A liquid crystal based broadband filter and imaging system for analyzing the polarization state of radiation. The filter includes four elements: a quarter wave plate; a 45° polarization rotator; a 90° polarization rotator; and a fixed polarizer. The first three of these elements are electronically switchable, allowing the user to select from any of the six possible polarization states. The switchable elements use multiple liquid crystal cells made from dual-frequency materials. A dual-frequency signal is used to activate and deactivate the various elements to achieve the desired state configuration. The dual-frequency signal drives the liquid crystal cells in and out of states, improving the overall switching time of the filter. The configuration of the liquid crystal cells within each of the filter allows broadband operation over most of the visible, infrared and ultraviolet spectra. The filter cycles through six configurations corresponding to the six polarization states of the incident radiation. Thus, the polarization state of the radiation can be completely characterized using the four Stokes parameters. Information related to the intensity and polarization of the radiation can be stored, displayed and analyzed.

摘要： An optical tracking system comprises an array of point source emitters that output respective optical emissions, and a plurality of angle of arrival sensors. Each sensor comprises one or more optical elements and a focal plane array (FPA), with the optical elements arranged to resolve the optical emissions into one or more linear patterns on the FPA. A processing system in communication with the sensors establishes the orientation and position of each of the optical emitters using the linear patterns. A headgear tracking system employs point source emitters on a piece of headgear, with front and rear arrays of angle of arrival sensors located in an aircraft cockpit; a processing system in communication with the sensor arrays establishes an orientation and position for each of the optical emitters on the headgear.
