Infrared Remote Sensing Using Low Noise Avalanche Photodiode Detector

Joice Mathew, James Gilbert, Robert Sharp +3

For a remote sensing optical payload to achieve a Ground Sampling Distance of ~ 10-30 m, a critical problem is platform-induced motion blur. While forward motion compensation can r…

Interferometric Beam Combination with a Triangular Tricoupler Photonic Chip

Jonah T. Hansen, Michael J. Ireland, Andrew Ross-Adams +4

Beam combiners are important components of an optical/infrared astrophysical interferometer, with many variants as to how to optimally combine two or more beams of light to fringe-…
