Abstract: A system for short-range laser detection and ranging of targets can provides rapid three-dimensional, e.g., angle, angle, range, scans over a wide field-of-view. Except for the final transmit/receive lens, the disclosed LADAR system can be implemented in an all-fiber configuration. Such system is compact, low cost, robust to misalignment, and lends itself to eye-safe operation by making use of available pulsed 1550 nm fiber lasers and amplifier sources. The disclosed LADAR system incorporates many novel features that provide significant advantages compared to current LADAR systems. The disclosed system uses a monostatic fiber-based transmitter/receiver, a fiber beam scanner based on a laterally vibrating fiber, and a position sensor to monitor the transmitted beam position.

Abstract: A pulsed fiber laser and associated electronics contained in a miniature package is disclosed. The Pulsed Fiber Laser Source (PFLS) can be a single-stage high gain master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) type fiber laser source. The PFLS can include a distributed feedback (DFB) laser, a narrowband optical filter, a broad area high-power pump diode, and Erbium/Ytterbium (Er/Yb) double cladding doped fiber. Input electrical pulses drive the DFB laser diode to emit optical pulses that are then amplified by the optical amplifier. Active and passive cooling elements may be incorporated for continuous operation without rest time. Passive cooling for intermittent pulsed applications allows the laser source to be miniaturized by eliminating active cooling elements and associated power supplies and controllers. Low duty cycle relaxes drive requirements and further reduces the size. The PFLS can be used for long distance ranging, communication by retro-modulation, and communication in presence of atmospheric attenuation.

Abstract: A bi-directional optical transmission system for radio frequency electricalnergy includes first and second transmitter/receiver stations which transmit and receive light signals along an optical path therebetween. Each station includes a laser transmitter for transmitting a carrier light beam which is intensity modulated by a synchronization of an input radio frequency electrical signal. A photodetector at each station detects the intensity variations of the carrier light beam from the other station and outputs a respective radio frequency electrical signal which is synchronized with the radio frequency electrical input signal of the other station. A beam splitter is provided between the optical path at both the laser transmitter and photodetector to split the light beams incident thereon into a pass portion and angularly reflected portion. An isolator device also is provided between the laser transmitter and beam splitter to isolate the laser transmitter from back reflections. Preferably, the isolator is a Faraday isolator, and additionally or alternatively the laser transmitters transmit at widely separate wavelengths. The optical path can either be free space or a main optical fiber, and the synchronization of the input radio frequency electrical energy can either be phase synchronization or time synchronization.

Abstract: Diffraction limited, single narrow lobe radiation from a large area laser is achieved in a system using an external ring laser cavity to return radiation to the laser via a spatial filter and a Faraday rotator. An antireflectance coating of sufficiently small reflectivity added to the large area laser converts it into a laser amplifier which provides optical gain in a ring laser cavity.
