System And Method For Active Optical Target Detection With Polarized Receiver

View page
US Patent:
7525657, Apr 28, 2009
Filed:
Mar 7, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/715107
Inventors:
Eric C. Fest - Tucson AZ, US
Assignee:
Raytheon Company - Waltham MA
International Classification:
G01J 4/00
US Classification:
356369, 356364, 356365
Abstract:
A receiver including an analyzer and a detector coupled to the output of the analyzer. The analyzer selects a polarized component of a return beam for input to the detector. The analyzer may be linear, circular or elliptical. Coupled with a laser adapted to output a polarized beam, the receiver provides an active optical target detector. An arrangement may be included for compensating for rotation and ellipticity in the returned beam. In one embodiment, the arrangement for compensating for rotation of the orientation of linear polarization in the returned beam includes a Faraday rotator positioned between the transmitter and the analyzer. An arrangement is disclosed for varying the rotation in the returned beam using a Faraday rotator until a maximum transmittance is achieved. In an alternative embodiment, the arrangement for compensating for ellipticity in the returned beam includes an electro-optical modulator positioned between the transmitter and the analyzer. In another alternative embodiment, two electro-optical modulators are included to compensate for any change in the polarization state in the returned beam.

Sensor System And Support Structure

View page
US Patent:
7777188, Aug 17, 2010
Filed:
Feb 27, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/679490
Inventors:
Eric Fest - Tucson AZ, US
Rex Kremer - Tucson AZ, US
Assignee:
Raytheon Company - Waltham MA
International Classification:
G01J 5/02
US Classification:
250353
Abstract:
The disclosed system and apparatus for a sensor support structure generally includes a substantially reflective support strut having discontinuous protrusions on the support surface presented to the field of view of the sensor. These discontinuous protrusions may be suitably configured such that ambient thermal radiation is generally reflected away from the support strut and divergent from acceptance in the sensor's optical train.

Switchable Imaging Polarimeter And Method

View page
US Patent:
8049889, Nov 1, 2011
Filed:
Dec 11, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/332653
Inventors:
Eric C. Fest - Tucson AZ, US
Assignee:
Raytheon Company - Waltham MA
International Classification:
G01J 4/00
G02B 27/10
G02B 27/14
US Classification:
356367, 359627, 359629
Abstract:
A polarimeter and method of polarizing incoming light includes an optical assembly, a first adjustable circular retarder that rotates the polarization content of incoming light, a polarization beam splitter that receives light from the adjustable circular retarder and polarizing the light into a first portion of light having a first polarization and a second portion of light having a second polarization. The first portion of light is directed to a focal plane and the second portion of light is directed to the optical assembly. The optical assembly is switchable between a polarizing mode of operation in which the first portion of light is viewable at the focal plane in absence of the second portion of light and an imaging mode of operation in which the first portion of light and the second portion of light are viewable at the focal plane.

Optical Transceiver Built-In Test (Bit)

View page
US Patent:
8421003, Apr 16, 2013
Filed:
Apr 30, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/771878
Inventors:
Eric C. Fest - Tucson AZ, US
James P. Mills - Austin TX, US
Nicholas D. Trail - Tucson AZ, US
Jim R. Hicks - Tucson AZ, US
Assignee:
Raytheon Company - Waltham MA
International Classification:
G01D 18/00
US Classification:
2502521, 25033911
Abstract:
An optical transceiver is provided with a light pipe that intercepts, offsets and redirects a portion of the collimated transmit beam to create a virtual object in the receiver field-of-view to perform the BIT. The light pipe comprises an input face and first reflective surface in the transmitter FOV to intercept a portion of the beam along a first axis and re-direct the beam, a second reflective surface and output face in the receiver FOV that re-directs the portion of the beam along a second axis towards the receiver to create the virtual object in the receiver FOV and an optical channel that guides the redirected portion of the beam from the first reflective surface to the second reflective surface to offset the second axis from the first axis. The same detector used during normal operation of the transceiver is used to perform the BIT, which may include a simple “on/off” test or a radiometry test. The light pipe may be designed with an acceptance FOV that preserves collimation, which facilitates a measurement of alignment error between the transmit beam and receiver.

Nano-Nano-Composite Optical Ceramic Lenses

View page
US Patent:
20130342921, Dec 26, 2013
Filed:
Feb 3, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/365588
Inventors:
Wayne L. Sunne - Tucson AZ, US
Jacob A. Hanson - Oro Valley AZ, US
Eric C. Fest - Tucson AZ, US
Ronald L. Roncone - Vail AZ, US
Assignee:
Raytheon Company - Waltham MA
International Classification:
G02B 1/00
G02B 5/10
G02B 7/02
G02B 9/10
US Classification:
359795, 359642, 359838, 359820, 977834, 977831, 977833
Abstract:
An optical component, for example a lens, integrally formed of a nano/nano class nanocomposite optical ceramic (NNCOC) material. The constituent nanograin materials of the NNCOC material are selected to tailor the thermal and optical properties of the lens so as to provide a lens with a substantially constant focal length over an operating temperature range and/or an optical system in which the image position does not change appreciably over the operating temperature range.

Movable Pixelated Filter Array

View page
US Patent:
20140063299, Mar 6, 2014
Filed:
Aug 30, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/599633
Inventors:
Eric Fest - Tucson AZ, US
Michael P. Schaub - Tucson AZ, US
Page E. King - Tucson AZ, US
Assignee:
RAYTHEON COMPANY - Waltham MA
International Classification:
H04N 9/04
US Classification:
348273, 348E05091
Abstract:
An optical imaging system and method including a movable pixelated filter array, a shutter mechanism to which the pixelated filter array is attached, and a controller configured to implement a data reduction algorithm. The shutter mechanism is configured to move the pixelated filter array into and out of the optical path, and the data reduction algorithm allows the controller to account for axial and/or lateral misalignment of the filter array relative to the imaging detector array or its conjugate. In certain examples, the controller is further configured to use the data reduction algorithms also to perform wavefront sensing, for example to estimate wavefront error.

Rainbow Reduction In Waveguide Displays

View page
US Patent:
20190227321, Jul 25, 2019
Filed:
Dec 4, 2018
Appl. No.:
16/209719
Inventors:
- Menlo Park CA, US
Ningfeng Huang - Redmond WA, US
Eric Fest - Seattle WA, US
Pasi Saarikko - Kirkland WA, US
Erik Shipton - Kenmore WA, US
Giuseppe Calafiore - Redmond WA, US
International Classification:
G02B 27/01
F21V 8/00
G02B 5/18
Abstract:
A waveguide display includes a first substrate and one or more grating layers on a first surface of the first substrate. The one or more grating layers are configured to cause destructive interference between ambient light diffracted by at least two grating layers or between ambient light diffracted by different portions of one grating layer. In some embodiments, the waveguide display also includes an angular-selective transmissive layer. The angular-selective transmissive layer is configured to reflect, diffract, or absorb ambient light incident on the angular-selective reflective layer with an incidence angle greater than a threshold value.
