  • Two-dimensional optical spot location using a one-dimensional detector array
    Patent number: 9395296
    Abstract: An optical detector array is disclosed to locate dynamically the source position of an incoming beam of light. For example, the incoming beam of light may be a reflection of a low-divergence laser beam from a scattering surface in target space. A system and a method are disclosed for determining the position of a light spot generated by an optical beam when it falls on a scattering surface based on a one-dimensional detector array.
