  • Patent number: 11225310
    Abstract: An underwater acoustic deception system deceives a sensor installed on a threat existing in or on water by acoustic effect in order to protect ships from the threat. The underwater acoustic deception system is provided with a control device, a laser oscillator and emission optical system. The control device determines a focusing position to focus a laser beam (50) in water in order to generate bubbles (70) at a desired position with a desired scale and emission parameters of the laser beam (50). The laser oscillator generates the laser beam (50) configured to focus in water and generate bubbles. The emission optical system emits the generated laser beam (50) to the focusing position. The underwater acoustic deception system deceives an arbitrary sensor existing in the water by acoustic effect of the bubbles (70) on the surroundings.

  • Publication number: 20210318534
    Abstract: An optical correction is predictively performed based on a result of AI learning previously performed by use of learning data including measurement data. The optical compensation system is provided with wavefront correction optics, a sensor and a controller. The wavefront correction optics corrects a wavefront of light that passes through a given optical path. The sensor obtains environmental information in the optical path. The controller calculates, based on the environmental information, a predicted wavefront disturbance of the light that has passed through the optical path and controls the wavefront correction optics so as to cancel the predicted wavefront disturbance.
