Description

ABSTRACT:AOSense proposes to design a compact, high-stability master oscillator for long-range coherent laser radar applications. The proposed device is capable of operating in a highly dynamic flight environment consistent with a jet aircraft pod, while maintaining a linewidth of <10 Hz on time scales relevant for long range laser radar. The overall package size of the device is 2.8 L or 0.1 cu ft, and includes all optical, mechanical, and electrical components needed for operation.BENEFIT:The proposed device would benefit a wide range of defense and commercial applications, including long-range laser radar, synthetic aperture imaging, target identification via remote vibrometry, and holographic imaging, as well as other vital DoD interests such as position, navigation, and timing via next-generation atomic clocks.
