Space Debris Mitigation Utilizing Laser Ablation
Space debris poses an increasingly serious threat to satellites and spacecraft. Our project will aim to mitigate this problem using an array of kilowatt-class lasers, powered by photovoltaics. An experiment was implemented to study this using a directed energy system to completely vaporize or propel space debris out of Earth’s orbit. Common materials found in space debris were tested using a 60...
متن کاملElimination of optical self-focusing by population trapping.
It is well known that intense laser beams, when tuned near to a resonance, will often break up into an unpredictable distribution of hot spots and filaments. This beam breakup and filament formation is initiated by self-focusing, which, in turn, is caused by the intensitydependent refractive index [1]. In this Letter we show experimental results that demonstrate, at least for the near-ideal con...
متن کاملLaser Based Observation of Space Debris : Taking Benefits
After the successful experimental demonstration of the prior published concept on laser-based monitoring of space debris in early 2012, we will present further technological and conceptual advancements of this position sensing scheme. The laser based measurement of LEO space debris positions in general offers the potential of a very high accuracy on the order of 10 meters in 3D, which in turn i...
متن کاملDetrimental Effect Elimination of Laser Frequency Instability in Brillouin Optical Time Domain Reflectometer by Using Self-Heterodyne Detection
A useful method for eliminating the detrimental effect of laser frequency instability on Brillouin signals by employing the self-heterodyne detection of Rayleigh and Brillouin scattering is presented. From the analysis of Brillouin scattering spectra from fibers with different lengths measured by heterodyne detection, the maximum usable pulse width immune to laser frequency instability is obtai...
متن کاملBilingual Corpus Cleaning Focusing O
When we automatically acquire translation knowledge from a bilingual corpus, redundant rules are generated due to translation variety. To overcome this problem, we propose bilingual corpus cleaning based on translation literality. Word-level correspondence and phrase-level correspondence are applied as the criteria of literality. Using these criteria, a bilingual corpus was cleaned, and transla...
