Complex-optical-field lidar system for range and vector velocity measurement.
A coherent lidar system based on the measurement of complex optical field is demonstrated for the first time. An electro-optic in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) modulator is used in the lidar transmitter to realize carrier-suppressed complex optical field modulation in which the positive and the negative optical sidebands can carry independent modulation waveforms. A fiber-optic 90° hybrid is used in t...
متن کاملAn Optical Measurement System to Measure Velocity and Provide Shock Wave Pressure Diagrams
This paper introduces an optical measurement system for shock wave characteristics. The system works by mountinga metal plate attached to spring mounts against the shock wavefront. This set is sealed and can plot the shock wave pressure diagram by measuring plate's displacement, radiation and changing the reflection of light during shock wave conflict, and converting these optical data to volta...
متن کاملSingle-chip velocity measurement system for incremental optical encoders
A single chip system is designed, implemented, tested and analyzed for the measurement of velocity from incremental optical encoders with quadrature outputs. The system uses a field programmable gate array (FPGA) chip to take advantage of high flexibility and a low cost design cycle. The device uses two counting methods: period counting for low velocities and frequency counting for high velocit...
متن کاملOptical Communication System with Range and Attitude Measurement Capability
A formation optical range and attitude sensor is being developed that uses a laser beam source and a modulated retro-reflector (MRR) target to measure distances between a few meters and a few kilometers with sub-millimeter resolution. Data extracted from multiple MRR targets on a single spacecraft will also provide arcminute-accuracy attitude information with over a ±10-deg field of view. Infor...
متن کاملFiltering for unwrapping noisy Doppler optical coherence tomography images for extended microscopic fluid velocity measurement range.
In this Letter, we report the first application of two phase denoising algorithms to Doppler optical coherence tomography (DOCT) velocity maps. When combined with unwrapping algorithms, significantly extended fluid velocity dynamic range is achieved. Instead of the physical upper bound, the fluid velocity dynamic range is now limited by noise level. We show comparisons between physical simulate...
