ANALYSIS OF GENERALIZED OPTICAL ARRAYS,

Abstract

The extension of present microwave array theory to arrays of optical sources is studied. Statistical theory is applied to a generalized array in an attempt to predict what degradation of array factors may be anticipated for such factors as amplitude deviations, various polarizations, frequency bandwidths, phase deviations, and mechanical alignment errors.
