| Abstract: |
A multi-aperture telescope imaging phased array is being demonstrated at the Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center in Palo Alto. The sparse array consists of nine afocal telescopes that are combined to a common focus in a Fizeau interferometer configuration. We have demonstrated diffraction limited performance over a 150 micro-radian field of view with broad band (550 to 800 nm) illumination. The relatively high bandwidth closed loop phasing is achieved using phase diversity wavefront sensing techniques. Applications using a filled array for astronomical observations will also be discussed. |
