Apparatuses And Methods For Evaluating Performance Of Optical Systems

US Patent:
7869058, Jan 11, 2011
Filed:
Nov 16, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/560661
Inventors:
Sergio R. Restaino - Albuquerque NM, US
Scott W. Teare - Polvadera NM, US
International Classification:
G01B 11/02
US Classification:
356515
Abstract:
A system for evaluation of optical quality of an optical device includes a light source configured to generate light, the generated light be received by an optical device. An interferometric lens apparatus is removably mounted to the optical device to generate interference fringes. A camera device is configured to receive and display the interference fringes, and a computer configured to analyze the interference fringes received from the camera device to determine aberrations of the optical device and generate a recommendation to correct the determined aberrations. Methods for evaluating the optical quality of an optical device are also described.

System And Method Of Generating Atmospheric Turbulence For Testing Adaptive Optical Systems

US Patent:
8452574, May 28, 2013
Filed:
Feb 2, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/698408
Inventors:
Christopher C. Wilcox - Albuquerque NM, US
Sergio R Restaino - Albuquerque NM, US
Ty Martinez - Edgewood NM, US
Scott W Teare - Sorocco NM, US
Assignee:
The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC
International Classification:
G06F 7/60
G06F 17/10
US Classification:
703 2
Abstract:
A system and method for simulating atmospheric turbulence for testing optical components. A time varying phase screen representing atmospheric turbulence is generated using Karhunen-Loeve polynomials and a splining technique for generating temporal functions of the noise factor for each Zernike mode. The phase screen is input to a liquid crystal spatial light modulator. A computer display allows the user to set geometric characteristics, and select between methods for generating atmospheric turbulence including Karhunen-Loeve polynomials, Zernike polynomials, and Frozen Seeing.

Extended Source Wavefront Sensor Through Optical Correlation

US Patent:
20120242831, Sep 27, 2012
Filed:
May 29, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/482304
Inventors:
Sergio R. Restaino - Albuquerque NM, US
Scott W. Teare - Poluadera NM, US
Jonathan R. Andrews - Albuquerque NM, US
International Classification:
H04N 7/18
G06K 9/64
H05G 1/64
US Classification:
348135, 378 982, 348E07085
Abstract:
An atmospheric aberration sensor that uses two optically correlated images of a scene and the Fourier transform capabilities of a lens or other focusing element. The sensor receives light via an f-number matching element from a scene or from an external optical system and transmits it through a focusing optical element to an updateable display element such as a spatial light modulator or micro mirror array, which modulates the real time image from the focusing element with previous template image of the same extended scene. The modulated image is focused onto an autocorrelation detection sensor, which detects a change in centroid position corresponding to a change of the tip/tilt in the optical path. This peak shift is detected by centroid detection and corresponds to the magnitude of global wavefront tip/tilt. With a lenslet array and detector array, the system can also measure local tip/tilt and higher order aberrations.

Adaptive Optical System Testbed With Karhunen-Loeve Polynomial Based Method For Simulating Atmospheric Turbulence

US Patent:
20130201542, Aug 8, 2013
Filed:
Mar 14, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/829382
Inventors:
The Government of the US, as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC, US
Ty Martinez - Edgewood NM, US
Sergio R. Restaino - Albuquerque NM, US
Scott W. Teare - Poluadera NM, US
International Classification:
G01N 21/01
US Classification:
359238
Abstract:
A system and method for simulating atmospheric turbulence for testing optical components. A time varying phase screen representing atmospheric turbulence is generated using Karhunen-Loeve polynomials and a splining technique for generating temporal functions of the noise factor for each Zernike mode. The phase screen is input to a liquid crystal spatial light modulator. A computer display allows the user to set geometric characteristics, the severity of the turbulence to be simulated, and to select between methods for generating atmospheric turbulence including Karhunen-Loeve polynomials, Zernike polynomials, and Frozen Seeing.

Liquid Crystal Active Optics Correction For Large Space Based Optical Systems

US Patent:
61076171, Aug 22, 2000
Filed:
Jun 5, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/092608
Inventors:
Gordon D. Love - Durham, GB
Richard A. Carreras - Albuquerque NM
Sergio Restaino - Albuquerque NM
Janet S. Fender - Placitas NM
Dennis Duneman - Albuquerque NM
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air
Force - Washington DC
International Classification:
G01J 120
US Classification:
2502019
Abstract:
Large space-based optical systems are expected to produce optical beams with large wavefront phase aberrations due to their size, weight limitations, optical misaligments and primary mirror imperfections. The present invention combines a phase diversity wavefront sensor with a real-time programmable two-dimensional array of liquid crystal variable retarders for wavefront correction.
