Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air Force - Washington DC

International Classification:

G02B006/10

US Classification:

385129, 264 24

Abstract:

A method for fabricating electromagnetic waveguides. The primary expected application is for the formation of dielectric type waveguides suitable for the confinement and guidance of intra-red and visible wavelengths. A secondary application is the formation of waveguides which can be filled with liquids or gases. The method uses standard microelectronic processing techniques.

Abstract:

A system and method for enhancing laser contrast on a remote target utilizing an image processor and a laser power controller is provided. An image processor in an imaging device manipulates a laser power controller in a laser system so that a laser beam emitted from a laser system is ultimately synchronized with the imaging device. Firstly, the original laser signal is shifted one time frame relative to the plurality of time frames to create a shifted laser signal. Secondly, the shifted laser signal is subtracted from the original laser signal. Thirdly, the subtracted laser signal is magnified by a frequency band pass filter. The filtered laser signal is added to the original signal to become the finalized laser signal which has better contrast than the original signal.
