System And Method For Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures To Missiles
Apparatus and method for directing a laser beam at an object. Some embodiments include generating direction-control information, based on the direction-control information, directing laser energy into a first fiber at a first end of a first fiber bundle during a first time period, forming an output beam of the laser energy from the second end of the first fiber bundle, and steering the output beam of the laser energy from the first fiber in a first selected direction of a plurality of directions during the first time period, and optionally modulating an intensity of the laser energy according to a predetermined pattern. The direction-control information is based on sensing electromagnetic radiation from a scene. Some embodiments use a remote camera wire-connected to the image processor to obtain scene information, while other embodiments use a second fiber bundle to convey image information from an external remote lens to a local camera.

Missile System Using Two-Color Missile-Signature Simulation Using Mid-Infrared Test Source Semiconductor Lasers
Steven C. Tidwell - Kirkland WA, US Charles A. Lemaire - Apple Valley MN, US
Assignee:
Lockheed Martin Corporation - Bethesda MD
International Classification:
F41J 2/02
US Classification:
89 111, 89 18, 2504951, 362231
Abstract:
In some embodiments, the present invention provides an apparatus and process that includes control electronics that generate an electronic control signal; and a plurality of optically or electrically pumped semiconductor lasers, quantum-cascade lasers, optical parametric generators, or optical parametric oscillators, operatively coupled to the control electronics, that output an optical signal having a plurality of wavelengths, each wavelength having an output intensity that is varied over time to simulate a combustion signature of a weapon. In some embodiments, at least two different infrared wavelengths are varied differently with time. Some embodiment are implemented as part of, for example, a anti-aircraft defense system, wherein incoming aircraft need to be disabled, and the present invention provides a way of distracting, exhausting, confusing, overwhelming, or bypassing the hostile aircraft's anti-missile defenses so that, e. g. , a naval vessel's anti-aircraft defensive missiles can be launched effectively to shoot down or disable the hostile aircraft.
Method And Apparatus For Spectral-Beam Combining Of Fanned-In Laser Beams With Chromatic-Dispersion Compensation Using A Plurality Of Diffractive Gratings
Steven C. Tidwell - Kirkland WA, US Thomas H. Loftus - Seattle WA, US Charles A. Lemaire - Apple Valley MN, US
Assignee:
Lockheed Martin Corporation - Bethesda MD
International Classification:
H01S 4/00 H04B 10/17
US Classification:
359349
Abstract:
Apparatus and method for spectral-beam combining of light from a plurality of high-power lasers (e. g. , fiber MOPA lasers) that, in some embodiments, use substantially identical diffraction gratings in a 1-D non-parallel, mutually compensating configuration to combine non-parallel converging input beams in one plane each having a slightly different successively higher wavelength into a single output beam of high quality. In other embodiments, an output grating and one or more input gratings in a 1-D parallel, mutually compensating configuration combine non-parallel input beams in one plane into a single output beam of high quality. In other embodiments, a 2-D plurality of input gratings in a non-parallel configuration combine a plurality of non-parallel input beams not in one plane each having a slightly different successively higher wavelength into a set of converging beams in one plane directed towards an output grating that compensates for chromatic dispersions introduced by the input gratings.
