A High Fidelity Simulation of Optical Detection Systems. Volume 2

Abstract

This report describes continued development of a sensor simulation code for high fidelity simulation of active and passive optical detection systems. The primary goal of this work has been to develop a toolbox of procedures which can be combined arbitrarily to model a wide variety of optical detector systems at the component, subsystem, and system level. the simulation is text file (script) driven, allowing libraries of detectors and detection systems to be assembled. The lowest level routines are primarily mathematical operations, and thus other systems, such as sensor signal processing, can also be modeled. The report provides an overview and results of model operation. Detailed descriptions of the noise model, the syntax of the modeling language, the available mathematical routines, and the prototype code structure are provided.
