Novel Optical Processor for Phased Array Antenna.

Abstract

Investigations are conducted on two novel optical devices, namely a fiber-optic phase conjugation loop for cancellation of phase jitter noise in RF distribution network and an acousto-optic imaging spatial light modulator. Analytical as well as experimental studies have been performed on several critical technical issues with success. Developmental issues and phase II program have been outlined for further development towards experimental demonstration of the proposed technologies and systems.
