    摘要: A method and system for aligning a spatial light modulator with respect to an imaging device is disclosed. An image of the spatial light modulator can be formed upon the imaging device and a controller can be used to position optical elements in a manner that effects translation, rotation, and scaling of the image so as to provide desired alignment. Such alignment can, for example, facilitate enhanced wavefront correction so as to at least partially compensate for the detrimental effects of atmospheric distortion in such applications as optical communications, imaging, and weaponry.

    摘要: A system and method are disclosed for information assurance for networked systems. The system and method involve a quantum key distribution (QKD) source, a gimbaling device, a receiver, and a sender. The QKD source is mounted on the gimbaling device, and the QKD source propagates energy into an oversized spot beam. The receiver and the sender are within optical communication of each other. The gimbaling device performs pointing acquisition tracking only as necessary to keep the receiver located within the oversized spot beam. When the receiver is located within the oversized spot beam, the QKD source performs a QKD function. In one or more embodiments, the gimbaling device is mounted on a mobile platform. In some embodiments, the mobile platform is mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). In other embodiments, the mobile platform is mounted on a small ground vehicle.

    摘要: A composite structure having an embedded sensing system is provided, along with corresponding systems and methods for monitoring the health of a composite structure. The composite structure includes composite material and an optical fiber disposed within the composite material. The optical fiber includes a plurality of quantum dots for enhancing its non-linear optical properties. The quantum dots may be disposed in the core, in the cladding and/or on the surface of the optical fiber. The optical fiber is configured to support propagation of the signals and to be sensitive to a defect within the composite material. The quantum dots create a non-linear effect, such as a second order effect, in response to the defect in the composite material. Based upon the detection and analysis of the signals including the non-linear effect created by the quantum dots, a defect within the composite material may be detected.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for nonlinear optical surface sensing with a single thermo-electric detector. In particular, the system includes at least two signal sources that are co-aligned to propagate photons to the same location on a surface. The system also includes at least one focusing element that focuses a sequence of photons that is reflected from the location on the surface. In addition, the system includes at least one frequency selective electromagnetic detector that detects the sequence of photons that are focused from the focusing element(s). When the frequency selective electromagnetic detector senses a photon, the frequency selective electromagnetic detector emits an electrical pulse that has a voltage that is proportional to the energy level of the photon. Additionally, the system includes a processor that processes the electrical pulses, and de-multiplexes the sequence of emitted electrical pulses based on the electrical pulse voltage of the electrical pulses.

    摘要: A method for storing and transmitting data within a network is described. The method includes receiving raw data at a first processing device and determining a first priority ranking of the raw data. The first priority ranking includes one of a high priority and a low priority. The method also includes storing low priority raw data in a first memory device and transmitting high priority raw data to a second processing device.
