摘要： The fiber optic laser system and associated lasing method amplifies and divides a primary laser signal into a plurality of secondary laser signals. The fiber optic laser system includes a distribution means, such as a distribution module, for dividing a primary laser signal, generated by a master oscillator into a number of secondary laser signals. The distribution module can include amplification means, such as an optical fiber amplifier, for amplifying the primary laser signal and a signal power splitter for dividing the amplified primary laser signal into a number of secondary laser signals. The secondary laser signals can then be further amplified, such as by a power amplification module including another optical fiber amplifier. The secondary laser signals can be recombined to produce a laser output having a power level greater than the predetermined power level of the primary laser signal. During the process of combining the secondary laser signals, the secondary laser signals can be collimated and the relative phases of the secondary laser signals can be controllably modulated such that the resulting laser output has a predetermined phase profile and relatively high beam qualities.

摘要： A micro-doppler ladar system for identifying and analyzing a target of interest includes a transmitter and coherent receiver pair, each of which includes a fiber optic power amplifier, and a controller. Preferably, the transmitter includes a master oscillator for generating a primary laser beam, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) for generating a VCO signal having a predetermined, repetitive frequency pattern, a frequency shifting circuit for varying the frequency of the primary laser beam responsive to the VCO signal to thereby produce a frequency-varying primary laser signal, and the optical fiber amplifier, which amplifies the frequency-varying primary laser signal to thereby produce a transmit laser beam. In addition, the coherent receiver, which responds to backscattered light produced by the interaction of the transmit laser beam with the target of interest, includes an optical fiber pre-amplifier for amplifying the backscattered light to thereby produce an amplified return laser beam, and a phase locked loop receiving the primary laser beam and the amplified return laser beam for generating an electrical signal indicative of range, velocity and a characteristic signature of the target of interest. The transmitter and coherent receiver can be operated in a target acquisition mode of operation for determining range and velocity, and a signature acquisition mode of operation for determining a characteristic signature of the target of interest responsive to the electrical signal. A method for operating the micro-doppler ladar system is also described.

摘要： A semiconductor active waveguide optical crossbar switch to allow optical signals to be routed to any number of ports with no net attenuation of signal strength. The optical crossbar switch is comprised of a network of optical waveguides wherein both lateral and transverse carrier confinement is provided. Redirection of the optical waveguide is accomplished by means of total internal reflectance turning mirrors. Furthermore, the optical waveguides are formed such that electrical current may be applied to the semiconductor structure to amplify the optical signal travelling therein. Electro-absorption switches formed from distinct metallic contacts overlying portions of the optical waveguides amplify the optical signal travelling through the waveguide underneath the switch if sufficient electrical stimulation is applied to the switch. Additionally, if no stimulation is applied to the electro-absorption switch, the optical signal travelling in the portion of the optical waveguide beneath the electro-absorption switches is attenuated to a level below that of the noise in the optical system such that no signal will be received by the output. Thus, by appropriately patterning the optical waveguide network in conjunction with turning mirrors and metallization contacts to provide attenuation or amplification, an input optical signal applied to this semiconductor active waveguide optical crossbar switch may be directed to any number of output ports. By utilizing optical signals throughout the design with no conversion to electrical signals, the transmission bandwidth of the switch is very large and the switching network is impervious to EMI.
