Abstract:
Phase I will investigate the feasibility of developing an
electro-optically tunable, miniature, solid-state laser and a
miniature, fiber-optic-coupled, automatic focussing lens for use
with robotic-coherent, laser-radar vision- and proximity-sensing
systems. Systems equipped with such components will be small,
lightweight, flexible, and compatible with robotic end-effectors
for sensing and control applications. These components will
provide for longer range more sensitive and accurate sensing than
is currently possible.
Potential Commercial Application:
Potential Commercial Applications: Potential applications are in
the areas of factory automation, robotic sensors, process control,
non-contact sensing and gauging, and coherent communications.
