Abstract: A camera concurrently produces an orthographic map and map spectral content. Illumination from an image passes through a phase modulator and the resulting rotating photo-flux phase is converted to an electrical signal by multiple adjacent sensors of detectors of array of detectors. The amount of unwanted illumination reaching the sensors is reduced by a set of baffles that shield and protect the transducers from unwanted out-of-field light and other light sources.

Abstract: A process for nuclear hardening an optical part consisting of a prepared beryllium substrate processed to yield a surface finish of at least 125 micro-inch rms that is subsequently provided with a vapor deposited coating of beryllium of about 0.012 inch .+-.0.002 inch thick. The vapor deposited coating is precision finished to a low-scatter, first surface mirror on a beryllium substrate.The disclosed process broadly comprises:1. selecting a suitable substrate material of high purity beryllium;2. matching to shape;3. processing and annealing the machined part;4. mild alkaline cleaning the machined part;5. etching the machined part;6. precision machining holes, threads, and lap precision surfaces;7. cleaning all surfaces by vapor degreasing;8. coating surfaces by vapor depositing beryllium;9. thermally processing by immersing coated part in liquid nitrogen; and10. grinding, polishing, and configuring to yield a low-scatter first surface mirror on a beryllium substrate.
