Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are provided that may facilitate multibeam coherent detection and/or speckle mitigation. For example, some embodiments provide for multiple simultaneous independent speckle realizations in light reflected from an actively illuminated target while also may simultaneously provide reference beams inherently aligned to each speckle. These tools and techniques may facilitate coherent detection of light returned from a target. In some cases, this may provide the basis for substantial speckle mitigation. With the addition of illumination phase or frequency modulation and/or intelligent algorithmic methods, some designs may utilize the multiple speckle returns to actively mitigate speckle noise, and can further be used to separately measure speckle phase to implement interferometric resolution surface tilt measurement and/or surface imaging. These tools and techniques may be utilized for other purposes related to multibeam coherent detection and/or speckle mitigation.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing a modal decomposition of a laser beam are disclosed. The method includes the steps of performing a measurement to determine the second moment beam size (w) and beam propagation factor (M2) of the laser beam, and inferring the scale factor (wO) of the optimal basis set of the laser beam from the second moment beam size and the beam propagation factor, from the relationship: wO=w/M2. An optimal decomposition is performing using the scale factor wO to obtain an optimal mode set of adapted size. The apparatus includes a spatial light modulator arranged for complex amplitude modulation of an incident laser beam, and imaging means arranged to direct the incident laser beam onto the spatial light modulator. Fourier transforming lens is arranged to receive a laser beam reflected from the spatial light modulator. A detector is placed a distance of one focal length away from the Fourier transforming lens for monitoring a diffraction pattern of the laser beam reflected from the spatial light modulator and passing through the Fourier transforming lens. The apparatus performs an optical Fourier transform on the laser beam reflected from the spatial light modulator and determines the phases of unknown modes of the laser beam, to perform a modal decomposition of the laser beam.

Abstract: In a composite sensor, an arrangement region of thermal image sensors and an arrangement region of range image sensors are arranged so as to overlap each other as seen in the mounting direction. This makes it possible to acquire thermal and range images coaxially, thereby suppressing image misalignment between the thermal and range images. In the composite sensor, a seal body formed by mounting the first and second substrates on top of each other seals a space about the thermal image sensors in a vacuum state. This can prevent the heat occurring about the range image sensors from affecting the thermal image sensor side. In addition, the substrate arranged with the thermal image sensors and the substrate arranged with the range image sensors are separate from each other, which can secure a degree of freedom in designing.
