Abstract:
A display system includes a projector system to create a plurality of image streams and a plurality of combiners, each corresponding to one of the directions of the image streams and to reflect at least a portion of the image stream received at that combiner. The projector system includes an illumination source that emits electromagnetic radiation within a predetermined spectral band, an image generator that ascribes image characteristics to the radiation to create a plurality of image streams, and an image separation module to direct the image streams in a plurality of directions.
Abstract:
A night vision system, a microchannel plate (MCP), and a planetary deposition system and methodology are provided for selectively depositing an electrode contact metal on one side of MCP channel openings. One or more MCPs can be releasibly secured to a face of a platter that rotates about its central platter axis. The rotating platter can be tilted on a rotating ring fixture surrounding an evaporative source of contact metal. Therefore, the rotating platter further rotates so that it orbits around the evaporative source of contact metal. A mask with a variable size mask opening is arranged between the rotating platter and the evaporative source. While the mask orbits around the evaporative source with the rotating platter, the mask does not rotate along its own axis as does the rotating platter.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an optical sensor system and an apparatus. The optical sensor system comprises a photodetector. The photodetector comprises a plurality of photosensitive elements and a photosensitive region disposed about and distinct from the photosensitive elements. The optical sensor system further comprises an optical system configured to image optical energy on the photodetector. The optical sensor system further comprises an electrical circuitry coupled to each of the photosensitive elements and to the photosensitive region disposed about the plurality of photosensitive elements. The apparatus comprises a detector array having three detector elements each detector element comprising a photosensitive material. The apparatus further comprises electrical circuitry coupled to each of the three detector elements.
Abstract:
In accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure, a system may include a polarizing beamsplitter for splitting one or more unpolarized rays received from an illumination source into a first polarized component and a second polarized component, the first polarized component and the second polarized component having orthogonal polarizations to each other. The system may also include a half-wave plate for rotating the second polarized component to the same polarization as the first polarized component. The system may further include a lens group for passing the first polarized component to a target plane as a first polarized ray, and further for separately passing the second polarized component to the target plane as a second polarized ray.
