Rotating Mirror Drum Radiometer Imaging System

View page
US Patent:
55348742, Jul 9, 1996
Filed:
Oct 7, 1992
Appl. No.:
8/160981
Inventors:
Larry Yujiri - Torrance CA
Michael S. Mussetto - Glendale CA
Gerald P. Uyeno - San Pedro CA
Assignee:
TRW Inc. - Redondo Beach CA
International Classification:
G01S 302
US Classification:
342351
Abstract:
A rotating mirror drum radiometer imaging apparatus. The apparatus generally comprises a two-sided mirror, a drum for securely supporting the two-sided mirror therein at an angle of preferably about 45 degrees relative to a longitudinal axis of symmetry extending through the drum, support walls for supporting the drum for rotational movement, and a motor and drive wheel for rotationally driving the drum. In the preferred embodiment the drum includes first and second cut-outs in a side surface thereof. The cut-outs are further spaced preferably about 180 degrees from each other about the longitudinal axis of symmetry and enable a transmitted signal to be alternately received therethrough by first and second sides of the two-sided mirror as the drum and mirror are concurrently rotated by the motor and drive wheel. A first antenna is disposed adjacent a first end of the drum and a second antenna is disposed adjacent a second end of the drum. The first and second antennas alternately receive the signal as the signal is alternately reflected from the first and second sides of the mirror as the mirror is driven rotationally.

Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (Mems) Micro-Mirror Array Steered Laser Transmitter And Situational Awareness Sensor With Wavelegth Conversion

View page
US Patent:
20220350133, Nov 3, 2022
Filed:
Apr 28, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/242861
Inventors:
- Waltham MA, US
Gerald P. Uyeno - Tucson AZ, US
Sean D. Keller - Tucson AZ, US
International Classification:
G02B 26/08
G01S 17/89
G01S 7/481
H01S 3/00
H01S 3/08
Abstract:
A steerable laser transmitter and active situational awareness sensor that achieves SWaP-C, steering rate and spectral diversity improvements by scanning a beam with a Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) Micro-Minor Array (MMA). One or more sections of non-linear material (NLM) positioned in the optical path (e.g. as annular sections around a conic mirror or as reflective optical coatings on the MMA) are used to convert the wavelength of the beam to a different wavelength while preserving the steering of the beam. The MEMS MMA may include piston actuation of the mirrors to shape the spot-beam.

Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (Mems) Micro-Mirror Array (Mma) Steered High-Power Laser Transmitter

View page
US Patent:
20220342201, Oct 27, 2022
Filed:
Apr 22, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/238147
Inventors:
- Waltham MA, US
Gerald P. Uyeno - Tucson AZ, US
Sean D. Keller - Tucson AZ, US
International Classification:
G02B 26/08
B81B 3/00
Abstract:
A steerable laser transmitter pairs a MEMS MMA with an optical amplifier to provide a high-power steered laser beam over a wide FOR. A single MEMS MMA may be positioned downstream of the optical amplifier. In a two-stage architecture, a MEMS MMA provides continuous fine steer upstream of the optical amplifier and a beam steerer, another MEMS MMA or a QWP and stack of switchable PGs, provides discrete coarse steering downstream. In the two-stage architecture, the upstream MEMS MMA is configured to limit its steering range to the acceptance angle of the optical amplifier, at most 2×2. The MEMS MMA may include piston capability to shape the wavefront of the beam.

Multiple Field-Of-View (Fov) Optical Sensor Using A Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (Mems) Micro-Mirror Array (Mma)

View page
US Patent:
20220317260, Oct 6, 2022
Filed:
Mar 30, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/217929
Inventors:
- Waltham MA, US
Gerald P. Uyeno - Tucson AZ, US
Sean D. Keller - Tucson AZ, US
Eric Rogala - Tucson AZ, US
International Classification:
G01S 7/481
G02B 26/08
G01S 17/89
Abstract:
A multiple FOV optical sensor includes a primary mirror having first and second rings of differing curvature to collect light from an object within different FOV. A secondary mirror includes a MEMS MMA in which the mirrors tip and tilt in 2 DOF or add piston in 3 DOF to (I) reflect light from the first ring within the first FOV that is focused at an imaging plane coincident with an imaging detector to form a focused image of the object at the imaging detector or (II) reflect light from the second ring within the second FOV onto the imaging detector (either focused to form a focused image or defocused to form a blurred spot). The MEMS MMA may be configured to alternate between (I) and (II) or to perform both (I) and (II) at the same time with the different FOV either overlapped or spatially separated on the detector. The sensor may be configured as an all-passive sensor, a dual-mode sensor or a hybrid of the two.

Optical Non-Uniformity Compensation (Nuc) For Passive Imaging Sensors Using Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (Mems) Micro-Mirror Arrays (Mmas)

View page
US Patent:
20220311961, Sep 29, 2022
Filed:
Mar 24, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/211574
Inventors:
- Waltham MA, US
Gerald P. Uyeno - Tucson AZ, US
Benn H. Gleason - Tucson AZ, US
Sean D. Keller - Tucson AZ, US
International Classification:
H04N 5/365
H04N 5/378
Abstract:
A passive imaging sensor includes a plurality of optical elements in which at least one includes one or more Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) Micro-Mirror Arrays (MMAs) having a plurality of independently and continuously controllable mirrors that at least tip and tilt in 2 DOF and may tip, tilt and piston in 3 DOF. In an operational mode, the mirrors are tipped and tilted, and possibly pistoned, such that the optical radiation is focused at the pixelated detector to read out an image of the scene. NUC coefficients such as offset and/or gain are applied to either the output signals of the detector or to the image to form the NUC'd images. In a calibration mode, the mirrors are tipped and tilted and/or pistoned to spatially or temporally blur the image or to re-direct the FOV to one or more on-board calibration sources to generate a uniform image from which to calculate and update the NUC coefficients.

Optical Zoom System Using An Adjustable Reflective Fresnel Lens Implemented With A Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (Mems) Micro-Mirror Array (Mma)

View page
US Patent:
20220299756, Sep 22, 2022
Filed:
Mar 19, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/207177
Inventors:
- Waltham MA, US
Gerald P. Uyeno - Tucson AZ, US
Sean D. Keller - Tucson AZ, US
International Classification:
G02B 26/08
G02B 17/00
G02B 7/182
G02B 3/08
Abstract:
A zoom system includes a collection optic L and a reflective Fresnel Lens L having a variable focal length. The reflective Fresnel Lens L is implemented with a MEMS MMA in which the mirrors tip, tilt and piston form and alter the reflective Fresnel Lens to focus light at a common focal point to set the variable focal length f2, hence the magnification M. In different embodiments, the zoom system may be configured to be “focal” or “afocal”. In the focal system, both L and L are fixed such that the system affects the net convergence or divergence of the magnified beam. In an afocal system, a mechanism is used to translate L to maintain a separation between L and L of d=f1+f2 as f2 is varied to change the magnification M.

Conic Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (Mems) Micro-Mirror Array (Mma) Steered Active Situational Awareness Sensor

View page
US Patent:
20220260685, Aug 18, 2022
Filed:
Feb 17, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/177784
Inventors:
- Waltham MA, US
Gerald P. Uyeno - Tucson AZ, US
Benn H. Gleason - Tucson AZ, US
International Classification:
G01S 7/481
G02B 26/08
G01S 17/04
Abstract:
An active situational sensor uses a beam steerer to steer a spot-beam onto a conical shape of a fixed mirror oriented along an optical axis to scan a FOR. The sensor may rapidly scan a 360 horizontal FOR with a specified vertical FOR or any portion thereof, move discretely between multiple specific objects per frame, vary the dwell time on an object or compensate for other external factors to tailor the scan to a particular application or changing conditions in real-time. The fixed mirror includes a MEMS MMA that approximates the conical shape of the mirror. The MEMS MMA being configurable to extend the vertical FOR or shape the spot-beam to adjust size, focus or intensity profile or to produce deviations in the wavefront of the spot-beam to compensate for path length differences or atmospheric distortion. The MEMS MMA being configurable to produce and independently steer a plurality of spot-beams of the same or different wavelengths.
