Sensors for spaceborne aerosol, cloud, and ocean (ACO) lidar must possess very wide dynamic range to cover the weakest stratospheric returns from the Rayleigh region and the strongest atmospheric targ ...

To demonstrate the ability of freeform gradient optics to achieve compact lightweight high-performance beam-expanding optics, working with NASA subject matter experts and other stakeholders, the requi ...

Single-photon-counting detectors optimal for NASA long-range freespace optical telecommunications will be developed. The proposed effort addresses NASArsquo;s need for reliable sources of radiation-ha ...

To satisfy the need for a radiation-hardened, 1064-nm laser sensitive, single-photon sensitive ladar camera, with pixel counts of 128 x 128 or more, a proven single-photon linear-mode InGaAs(P)/InAlAs ...

Traditional active 3D imaging systems, such as airborne and terrestrial lidar scanners, use a transmitter and receiver typically co-located on the same platform and connected in synchronous communicat ...

To address the U.S. Navy’s unmet need for robust, compact transmitters for photonics links, in this SBIR, a wavelength-selectable shot-noise-limited fiber-pigtailed ultra-compact diode-pumped solid- ...

To meet the U.S. Navy need for high-dynamic-range digitizers for lidar applications, a four-input channel 17-bit dynamic-range application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) will be developed. Each of ...
