Optical Angular Motion Sensor

Abstract

The Optical Angular Motion Sensor (OAMS) Program, Phase II, consisted of the fabrication and testing of a prototype model to demonstrate compliance with OAMS performance requirements. The qualification model consisted of a transmitter, a receiver, and an electronics assembly. The alignment information was transmitted between the transmitter and receiver on three discrete polarized beams. The primary objective of this program was to re-package the brassboard design of Phase I to reduce power, weight and size, and to improve reliability and maintainability. The performance of each of the three channels was improved by the use of higher power LEDs, more efficient collecting optics, and higher responsivity detectors.
