10-Micrometers Detector
Abstract
The purpose of the program is to continue the research on 10.6 micrometer image upconversion detectors and to determine the feasibility of developing a 10.6 micrometer range gated upconversion imaging laser radar receiver with 150 by 150 resolution elements. An experimental model image upconverter capable of real time direct viewing has been assembled. Imaging characteristics such as resolution, field of view, and the upconversion efficiency of the experimental model were measured by arranging the model in the Fourier space and the image space configurations. Analysis describing the optical transfer function of the Fourier space configuration and the line spread functions of non-Fourier space configuration are presented. The crystal birefringency is included in the analysis. Calculation of resolving power and some consideration on the object optics are also included. Measurements of conversion efficiency and realistic estimates of practically achievable efficiency are presented and realistic values for the SHG d coefficients of proustite are considered.
