Integrated Optic Signal Processors for Wideband Radar Systems.

Abstract

The general objective of this research is to explore the potential of integrated acoustooptic (AO) technology with application to wideband radar systems. The potential of AO devices for real-time processing of wideband radar signals has been well recognized. Accordingly, implementation of AO signal processors using integrated optic techniques constitutes one of the most important on-going R and D activities. The major objectives of this research are to carry out research on integrated acoustooptic signal processing including pulse compression, convolution, and correlation. Thus specific tasks of the research are: (1) to further explore guided-wave AO pulse compressors and convolvers, and (2) to initiated research on guided-wave AO correlators.
