Scanning Strategies for Holographic Receivers

This working group meeting discusses the scan characteristics and design considerations for space-based lidar systems using holographic receivers. Topics include scan elevation angles, adjustable scans, scan patterns, axis of scanning, slew rate, and rotating single HOE conical scanner design.

  1. Geary Schwemmer Meeting of the Working Group on Space-based Lidar Winds Bar Harbor, Maine June 23 – 25, 2003 Work supported by: IPO & NASA Scanning Strategies for Holographic Receivers

  2. Scan Characteristics • Scan elevation angle (relative to nadir) • 40-50° optimum? • Adjustable? • Number of azimuth look-angles relative to S/C • continuous vs step and stare • Repeating pattern vs targeted observations • 1 or 2 axis? • Slew rate

  3. Rotating single HOE conical scanner Design proven with ground-based and airborne instruments Mechanically simple: static focal plane optics with single FOV Requires reaction wheel or spinning S/C Infinite variety of look angles Difficult to adjust elevation angle SHared Aperture Diffractive Optical Element Still in the laboratory Lowest Inertia: minor or no moving parts Limited number of HOEs (look angles): ~5 Perfect for “step and stare” scanning – instant slewing Easy to implement multiple lasers and imaging 2-D detector arrays (focal plane scanning 5-7°) Holographic Scan Schemes

  4. Rotating HOE and SHADOE Concepts
