Method of Making a Pre-Aligned Optical Correlator

Abstract

A method of adjusting a laser diode relative to a solid optical correlator body to adjust the optical axis of the laser diode relative to a matched filter mounted in a predetermined position on the solid optical correlator body and then securing the laser diode in the predetermined position to provide an aligned optical correlator for receiving correlator signals from a predetermined scene to correlate the scene with that of the matched filter. Patent Applications.
