Optical spatial tracking using coherent detection in the pupil plane.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Design considerations for a heterodyne spatial tracking system utilizing pupil plane processing techniques and its advantages over traditional focal plane processing are described. Noise performance bounds, optimal and suboptimal local oscillator distributions, pull-in performance, and applications other than spatial tracking are discussed. Experimental verification of a one-axis closed-loop tracking system is presented.

Grating-enhanced Coherent Imaging
We describe a coherent imaging technique that utilizes a diffraction grating placed near the object to alias high spatial frequency information through the imaging system pupil. The resulting optical field in the image plane is detected by means of digital holography. Multiple measurements are taken with the grating shifted by a fraction of its period between exposures. Linear signal processing...
متن کاملApplication of Superresolution Algorithm to Optical Coherent Imaging
The Super-SVA algorithm has been shown effective for improving the resolution of microwave synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) In this paper we review the Super-SVA algorithm and demonstrate its application to optical imaging systems using coherent laser illumination. Examples of such imaging systems include heterodyne-array imaging, holographic laser radar, laser syntheticaperture radar, coherent p...
متن کاملPSF with Partial and Variable Apodization along with CPF
The point spread function (PSF) of aberrated optical system apodized with Hanning and Lanczos amplitude filters has been determined. The influence of phase mask also considered for various zones of the aperture. For this study rotationally symmetric coherent optical system has been considered. INTRODUCTION Coherent illumination of the object is essential in order to get narrow bandwidth spectra...
متن کاملUsing Pupil Apodization as an Optical Technique to Obtain Retina Light Distributions in Presence of Stiles-Crawford Effect of the First Kind
In Stiles-Crawford effect of the first kind (SCE I) a beam of light entering from the edge of the pupil fails to elicit the same visual response compared to a beam hitting the pupil head-on. This effect is employed as an optical technique of pupil apodization in obtaining the retinal light distributions for a human eye. The novelty in this methodology centers on the simultaneous use of spatiall...
متن کاملCoherent superresolution imaging via grating-based illumination
This paper describes two superresolution coherent imaging techniques, which both use a diffraction grating to direct high spatial frequency information that would otherwise be lost through the imaging system pupil. The techniques employ digital holography to measure the optical field in the image plane and rely on capturing multiple holograms with the illumination condition altered between expo...
