摘要: Multi-Channels coherent beam combining (CBC) using a mechanism for phase and/or polarization locking that uses a reference optical beam and an array of optical detectors each detector being configured and located to detect overall intensity of an optical interference signal caused by interfering of the reference beam and a beam of the respective channel, where the fast intensity per-channel detection allows simultaneous and quick phase/polarization locking of all channels for improving beam combining system performances.

摘要: A current regulator for a pulsed load is provided herein. The current regulator may include: an input power source; a current sense circuit; a capacitive energy storage device; a current sink driver; a current source charger which receives input current from the input power source via the current sense circuit and provides a charge for the capacitive energy storage device coupled between the current source charger and the current sink driver which drives the pulsed load; a power monitor circuitry which generates a feedback signal, based on a function of the input power and a function of at least one of: voltage across the capacitive energy storage, or voltage across the current sink driver; and a pulse width modulation (PWM) or pulse frequency modulation (PFM) circuitry which controls the current source charger based on the feedback signal.

摘要: Fiber lasers and methods are provided, in which the modal instability threshold is raised to provide more laser power. Fiber lasers comprise an active optical fiber having at least one absorption peak wavelength (λpeak) and capable of supporting more than a fundamental mode during operation, and a plurality of pump diodes connected to deliver radiation emitted thereby into the optical fiber. At least one of the pump diodes is a wavelength-locked (WL) diode and at least one of the pump diodes is configured to deliver radiation at at least λ≠λ(not necessarily the same diode(s)). The pump diodes may comprise any of WL diode(s) at λ≠λpeak, WL diode(s) at λ=λpeak and non-WL diode(s). Pumping radiation off the fiber's absorption peak increases the modal instability threshold, most likely by reducing the temperature gradient in the active fiber at the fiber pump entrance point and along the fiber.

摘要: Depolarized fiber lasers and respective methods are provided for increasing the SBS (stimulated Brillouin scattering) threshold. The laser source is constructed by a frequency-broadened seed source having a frequency bandwidth of less than 50 GHz, and the depolarization of the seed source is carried out at time scales shorter than 10 ns. At least one amplifier is configured to receive and amplify radiation from the frequency-broadened seed source and deliver the amplified radiation in the optical fiber. Depolarization may be achieved in various ways (e.g., using an interferometer with added length to one arm) and is kept at time scales shorter than tens of nanoseconds, typically shorter than 5-10 ns, which distinguish it from random polarization having polarization changes at longer time scales. Polarization maintaining fibers may be used to further increase the SBS by separating the polarizations states.

摘要: Apparatus for increasing resolution of cryogenically cooled vacuum-sealed infrared imaging detector. A two-dimensional detector array of photosensitive pixels is successively exposed to an image scene, acquiring multiple imaging samples. A masking filter, disposed between the detector array and image scene focal plane, is maintained at a fixed position with respect to the detector array, and reduces the region of pixels collecting incident radiation for each imaging sample such that only a portion of each pixel area of the image scene is imaged onto the corresponding detector array pixel. Shifting means successively shifts the optical path of the image scene relative to the masking filter, by a shifting increment or fill-factor reduction amount equal to a fraction of the array pixel width, to image different sub-pixel regions in each imaging sample. A processor reconstructs an image frame having a resolution greater than the intrinsic detector resolution by the fill-factor reduction amount.
