Discuss data fusion between laser pointer analysis and imaging system
The naval experiment was conducted in the Baltic Sea, and there were many other active and passive electro-optical sensors next to the analysis system. This article will discuss data fusion between laser pointer analysis and imaging systems. In addition, drone experiments are conducted in a laboratory on the roof of FOI. Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) technology…
3D non-scanning imaging laser pointer radar instrument
In this article, the author explains the feasibility and benefits of using Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode (GmAPD) arrays for long-distance detection of several kilometers. The article describes the simulation of the Geiger detection sensor, which is part of the author’s end-to-end laser pointer simulator, which is used to generate simulated 3D laser pointer images from synthetic scenes. The…
Progress and application of ultrafast laser pointer micro-nano manufacturing
The vice president of Nanjing Advanced Laser Technology Research Institute attended the summit and delivered a keynote speech on “Ultrafast laser pointer Micro-Nano Manufacturing Progress and Application”. The ultra-fast laser pointer has a unique ultra-short pulse, which can obtain a very high peak light intensity with a lower pulse energy, so it can solve many processing problems…
Test sweeping drone cluster weapons are more powerful than laser pointer weapons
The US military is testing a weapon that can quietly shoot down a flying drone cluster. It is a high-power microwave radiation transmitter, installed on a 20-foot high container. It is named after the fictional weapon laser pointer in “Star Trek”. It is a high-power microwave radiation transmitter installed on the top of a standard 20-foot container….
Currently myopia cannot be cured by laser pointer surgery
According to the results of the 2018 National Children and Adolescent Myopia Survey published by the National Health Commission, the overall myopia rate of children and adolescents in my country in 2018 was 53.6%, and the incidence is severe. Some parents place their hopes on the treatment of myopia, and many businesses claim that it…
The US Air Force Research Laboratory will equip the military with a new laser pointer weapon system
The US Air Force Research Laboratory established the Air Force’s first high-energy laser weapon system overseas for a 12-month field evaluation. The Office of Strategic Development Planning and Experimentation of the Air Force at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio is leading the project. Dr. Michael Kyrgyz, Director of Basic Defense Experiments, Office of…
Internal laser pointer weapon system
There are decades of research behind the energy guiding weapon system. Lockheed Martin has spent 40 years designing and developing electromagnetic energy systems, and by enhancing the energy of the system to create a directed energy defense system. This technology is powered by batteries, generators or existing power sources, and is a kind of spectral…
US Air Force Research Laboratory develops chip-level phased array laser pointer radar technology
On March 4, the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio awarded a fixed-price R&D contract with a total value of $8.107308 million in La Jolla, California, to develop a chip-size “optical phase”. Array and Lidar” system. It is understood that the system utilizes the results of the first phase…
The future development of ultra-fast laser pointer technology
With the rapid development of laser technology, ultra-fast lasers have appeared in people’s sight. It has unique ultra-short pulse and ultra-strong characteristics, and can obtain extremely high peak light intensity with lower pulse energy. The emergence of ultra-short pulse chirp amplification technology has greatly improved the intensity of ultrafast green laser pointer. Unlike traditional long-pulse lasers…
