Support for Atmospheric Extinction Imaging Systems for Testing of High Energy Lasers
Abstract
One of the APSHEL project tasks is to conduct field tests includingmeasurements of the atmospheric optical transmittance over extended paths within theenvironment. It is planned that these extinction losses will be measured using ExtinctionImagers (EI), which were conceived and developed by the Marine Physical Lab (MPL) atScripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) and the University of California San Diego (UCSD).In order to transition to current ONR applications, it will be necessary for research groupsworking under ONR to build new systems optimized for the current application, calibrate them,and modify the MPL algorithms for their specific hardware environment, test and deploy them.MPL will collaborate providing expertise on the algorithms, data, lessons learned, andtechnology to enable this transition. MPL will collaborate on the hardware designs andexperimental setups, the concepts used in the data acquisition and processing, the application ofcalibrations, and the analysis of raw and/or processed results.
