Low Cost Grating Based Laser Sensor
Abstract
The primary objective of this program is to develop a laser warning sensor for the measurement of laser illumination events during flight at a consumer cost of less than $500. The target requirements are to measure the wavelength, average power, pulse length, pulse repetition frequency, and duration for each event and save the information in a time-stamped downloadable file. The Phase I effort established the feasibility of the proposed approach by performing a detailed analysis of the design, procuring and fabricating a breadboard prototype, and then performing laboratory testing that soundly verified the ability of the sensor to achieve the target requirements. The sensor has excellent commercial potential in all sectors of the Department of Defense as a laser warning sensor, as well as private sector applications in video surveillance and pattern recognition.
