  • FPA combining SAL and imaging
    Patent number: 7858939
    Abstract: A multi-mode detector and detection method that utilize shared optical components to detect multiple different incoming wavelengths of energy. Partial de-focusing of incoming light enables imaging and non-imaging outputs from the same detector. Analog and digital pixels enable mixed-mode output. Selective filtering at the detector enables the simultaneous detection of two or more wavelengths of light. Signal processing hardware and algorithms enable the system to simultaneously provide integrated and multi-channel analog outputs to guidance and display systems.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 21, 2008
    Date of Patent: December 28, 2010
    Assignee: Lockheed Martin Corporation
