20150256743 | Imager Device for Fusing an Image from Multiple Sources - Provided herein is an imager device for fusing an image from multiple sources. The device includes a focal plane array detector for obtaining an image of a scene at a first wavelength; a display projector for projecting a projected image of the scene obtained by the focal plane array detector at a second wavelength; and a splitter/combiner element positioned to direct a line of sight of the focal plane array detector in a first direction and to direct the projected image in a second direction. The device is configured such that a normal line of sight having a third wavelength passes through the splitter/combiner element without being deflected by the splitter/combiner element. An assembly including an optical scope and an imager device for fusing an image from multiple sources is also provided. The scope may be a direct view optical scope or an indirect view optical scope. | 09-10-2015 |
20130286401 | Optical Instrument for the Simulation of Atmospheric Turbulence - Provided herein is an optical turbulence device configured for insertion between the target collimator and the sensor unit being tested, which simulates a turbulence effect. The turbulence device for imparting wavefront aberrations to a projected radiation beam includes an optical phase element for altering the optical phase of a radiation beam. The optical phase element includes a plurality of active areas disposed on a surface of the phase element. The plurality of active areas includes a plurality of variations for imparting wavefront aberrations to a radiation beam, thereby altering optical phase of the beam. The device further includes a driving mechanism coupled to the optical phase element for transitioning the optical phase element between a plurality of positions, thereby exposing a different active area of the optical phase element to the radiation beam. The optical phase element is configured to be positioned at an intermediate focal plane of an inverting a focal optical assembly. | 10-31-2013 |
