Description
SA Photonics'Hy-SAR system is an active laser based imaging system utilizing synthetic aperture signal processing techniques to provide 5-10x improvement in image spatial resolution relative to a relatively sized passive system. The Hy-SAR system utilizes a unique RF modulation scheme that is extremely linear eliminating the need of path length matched reference channels and other complex compensation schemes. The Hy-SAR system leverages SA Photonics extensive experience in developing and delivering systems for coherent optical communications, coherent LIDAR detection and tracking, RF modulated LIDAR imaging, high-speed precision beam steering for advanced seeker applications, and extremely small, high update-rate precision fiber optic gyroscopes for image stabilization applications.
