Optical diagnostic methods for closed-loop focal-plane-array evaluation: anisoplanatic optical simulations using laser-based photonics

摘要

Summary form only given. In this paper we describe efforts to develop a closed-loop direct write scene generation (DWSG) focal-plane-array test capability (FPATC) at Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC). The DWSG methodology provides high-speed photonics for visible and infrared focal-plane-array (FPA) diagnostics using lasers for real-time evaluation and scene simulation.
