- the device consists of a diffractive grating G, an imaging optic O, a two-dimensional imaging
- the incident laser radiation 101 (of course, in addition to other background radiation) is transferred to diffraction radiation 102 after passing through the diffraction grating G.
- the diffraction grating G divides the incident laser radiation 101 into a plurality of orders, wherein the diffraction grating G can be dimensioned one-dimensionally or multi-dimensionally. In the one-dimensional case, the laser radiation 101 in several
- Diffraction grating G are several grids arranged one behind the other and twisted.
- a multidimensional Diffraction grating G is a cross lattice in which a grating is arranged rotated by 90 degrees to the second.
- the optical system O has the task of limiting the diffraction beams (diffraction radiation) 102 to a specific diameter by means of a lens diaphragm and of focusing and / or imaging high-resolution and efficient on the detector D by means of a correspondingly adapted lens system.
- the read-out unit A is embodied and set up such that for reading the detector signals of the detector D between a low readout frequency in the range of 10 Hz-100 Hz and a high readout frequency in the range of 500 Hz-0 7 Hz several times per second in predetermined or known Way is changed.
- a low readout frequency in the range of 10 Hz-100 Hz
- a high readout frequency in the range of 500 Hz-0 7 Hz several times per second in predetermined or known Way is changed.
- FIGS. 1 and 3-5 the incident laser radiation 101, the diffraction radiation 102 produced by a diffraction grating G, and the radiation 103 focused on a detector D by the imaging optical system O are shown as arrows with solid lines, while the signal or data flow from the detector D to the readout unit A, from there to the evaluation unit B and from there to the
- Display unit C in is shown as arrows with dashed lines.
- Pulse lasers used in the military sector are sufficient
- the read-out frequency of a detector D and thus the image refresh rate must be correspondingly high. This is preferably between 1,000 and more than 10 million images per second.
- two detectors are operated according to the invention with a very different readout frequency.
- the read frequency of a detector is changed several times per second between a low and a high read-out frequency.
- the shorter exposure time at the high readout frequency reduces the brightness of the background image and can even make the image completely dark.
- the brightness of incident pulsed laser radiation is not reduced, since the pulse duration of the laser radiation is usually much shorter than the exposure time.
- image data or images with different exposure time and refresh rate are generated.
- 2 shows a schematic representation for further explanation. Shown are the image times of individual successive images plotted over the time axis t. It can be seen from the representation that the images 1, 2 and 12 were obtained with a lower refresh rate and therefore with a low readout frequency than the images 3 -11.
- the image duration readable from FIG. 2 is the reciprocal of the image repetition rate and is the sum of the exposure duration and the dead time for reading the image information (for discharging the detector).
- Image data set at the high readout frequency before their analysis reduced It should be mentioned here that the above-mentioned image data result from the read-out detector signals after corresponding A / D conversion.
- binning the resolution of the detector D at high readout frequencies / refresh rates is reduced by combining detector signals of horizontally and vertically adjacent detector elements (pixels, pixels) in hardware or software .
- Typical binning patterns are z. B. 2 x 2 or 4 x 4, but also the combination of whole image lines or image columns to a Pixel is possible.
- this reduces the amount of image data to be taken into account during the analysis, but on the other hand, of course, this is at the expense of the spatial resolution of the resulting reduced image data. It applies here for the present
- Pixel brightness of the laser radiation 101 or of the diffraction radiation 103 finally detected by the detector D is retained by binning.
- the addition of the image brightnesses in digits (0 to 4096 at 12 bits) of individual components from 4 adjacent pixels (pixels 1-4) is as follows:
- Pixel 1 background brightness: 0, noise: 1, laser radiation: 0
- Pixel 2 background brightness: 0, noise: 2, laser radiation: 0
- Pixel 3 Background Brightness: 0, Noise: 2, Laser Radiation: 25
- Pixel 4 Background Brightness: 0, Noise: 1, Laser Radiation: 0
- Detector area (image area) are locally concentrated and reduced to this radiation source. This so-called region-of-interest (ROI) function will make this one
- Refresh rate (high readout frequency) considered.
- ROI small area
- Reading frequency are set very high (for example, to 10,000 -10 million Images / s) so that the time characteristics such as pulse duration and pulse repetition rate can be determined.
- the determination of the direction of incidence of the incident laser radiation 101 is based on the following relationship.
- the incident laser radiation 101 is through the
- Diffraction grating G divided into a plurality of partial beams (diffraction radiation 102) whose deflection angle is determined by the lattice constant of the diffraction grating G used and the diffraction order N. Since the position of the center of the resulting diffraction pattern (in the case of monochromatic radiation is a dot pattern) on the detector D is an optical image of the diffraction grating G, the position of the center of the dot pattern on the two-dimensional detector D can be
- Incidence direction can be determined in two dimensions.
- Pixels through the diffraction grating behaves to
- Point distances of the dot pattern arising on the detector D, in addition to the wavelength on the area detector D according to:
- the dots are 532 pixels apart, and the wavelength A of the incoming laser radiation is 1064 nm, then one pixel of the detector D equals two nanometers, ie, the laser emission bandwidth can be accurate to two nanometers be measured.
- a diffraction grating G which generates a plurality of diffraction beams and thus several image points on the detector D (eg nine in a 3 ⁇ 3 diffraction grating)
- the point distances of all pixels can be measured and the result averaged so that the wavelength resolution is still can be many times higher.
- broadband light sources can be detected and distinguished in particular from narrow-band laser radiation sources.
- detectors D for detecting weak laser sources is the multitude of incoherent point sources in the open air (such as street lamps, solar and lunar reflections) during the day and at night, which are unaware of a possible threat of laser target acquisition without additional Measures are distinguishable.
- a laser radiation source has a high temporal coherence in addition to the high spatial coherence, i. a narrow bandwidth. For natural and gas lasers, this bandwidth is usually well below 1 nm, for multimode laser diodes about 3 nm. All natural beam sources are broadband with a bandwidth rarely below 100 nm. Narrow band technical light sources are spectral lamps, high pressure lamps, fluorescent tubes and light emitting diodes with a bandwidth of individual Colors of 20-40 nm. The bandwidth of the laser is thus at least a factor of 10 below the range of all natural and technical sources.
- interferometers or diffraction gratings come into question here.
- the use of interferometers for coherence discrimination has the disadvantages of their high sensitivity to vibration and temperature, their low angular acceptance and cumbersome interpretation of interferograms.
- high-resolution diffraction gratings are very suitable in combination with modern detectors.
- cross gratings which generate two-dimensional point grating spectra from the light of narrowband point sources instead of the known line spectra, are preferable to the grating gratings.

- the position of the Büdic the orders N are thus intersections of two Hyberbelscharen.
- the 0th order of the diffraction pattern lies on the main beam, so this goes without diffraction through the diffraction grating.
- the skin ray axis is also the symmetry axis of the diffraction pattern higher
- the incident direction of the incident laser radiation can, as explained above, be determined unambiguously from the diffraction pattern.
- the diffraction angle shifts with the wavelength change of ⁇ according to the formula (2): ⁇ aresin (N ⁇ / d), i. the wavelength of the incident radiation can be determined from the angular position of the diffraction maximum.
- Lattice constant d 10 pm

- the wavelength resolution increases.
- the angular resolution of a pixel is 0.15 °.
- the spectral resolution of a pixel in the first diffraction order is about 5 nm.
- the spectral bandwidth of a laser diode is about 3 nm, i. the radiation of the laser diode would be imaged within a pixel.
- a light emitting diode would extend over a line of 6 pixels and a 100 nm source over 20 pixels.
- an incoherent light source such as a sun reflex with a bandwidth of 300 nm, after its passage through the diffraction grating G in its intensity by a factor of 1 / 300 are weakened.
- FIG. 6 shows an example of a diffraction pattern (distribution of radiation intensity) of 0th and 1st order arising on the detector D when radiation passes through a cross diffraction grating G, whose angular separation through the Grid constant is set.

- Reference numeral 606 denotes the imaging area of the imaging optical system O on the detector surface.
- the intersection of the centers 602 and 603 of the imaging optical system O indicates the intersection of the main beam axis with the detector surface.
- the main beam axis is defined by the 0 th order diffraction beam for a radiation incident perpendicular to the diffraction grating, which would be imaged here on the intersection of the center axes 602 and 603, since the main beam does not undergo deflection by the diffraction grating. If the incident radiation does not strike the diffraction grating G perpendicularly, the center of the diffraction pattern is displaced.
- the 0th order of the incident coherent radiation is mapped onto the point 601, and the 0th order of the incident incoherent radiation is imaged onto the circular area 607.
- the 1 st order of the incident coherent radiation is mapped to the four points 604.
- the 1 st order of the incident incoherent radiation is mapped to the gray shaded areas 605.
- FIG. 6 shows a section line S-S 'through the detector.
- FIG. 7 shows the intensity distribution of the diffraction pattern of FIG. 6 on the detector D along the section line S-S '.
- the x-axis 701 corresponds to the
- Diffraction radiation of coherent radiation which is represented in the form of intensity peaks 704, 705a and 705b, of the incoherent radiation, which one over the
- Section line SS 'blurred intensity curve 703 represents.
- the points 601 and 604 on the section axis correspond to the intensity peaks 704 and 705a or 705b in FIG. 7.
- a threshold value 706 By specifying a corresponding threshold value 706, the influence of the incoherent radiation during the evaluation can be suppressed. Assuming that the incident laser radiation, which is the present
- the pulse duration and pulse rate are determined as follows. If the pulse duration of the laser radiation is longer than the exposure time for a single image, the PuEsdauer can be roughly determined by counting the number of exposed images multiplied by the image duration, the accuracy of the measurement is equal to the image duration.
- a pixel for example 601 or 604 is considered, at which the laser has illuminated, and then it is measured in which time frame the pixel appears again in a subsequent image. This regular lighting reveals the for each pulse laser
- the length of the illumination indicates the laser's pulse duration, if it is not shorter than the image acquisition time. Therefore, must to
- Determining the pulse duration only the number of successive images are determined in which the pixel of the laser radiation is present. This number must then be multiplied by the constant exposure time for these images.
- two or more detectors can also be used
- Image information is lost when a weak short laser radiation pulse strikes a detector with a long exposure time and therefore would become vanishingly small due to the long integration time. Since lasers with the emission of several pulse trains are usually used in practice, a device with only one detector (image sensor) and switchable readout frequency is preferably sufficient for the measurement. As a result, the manufacturing, operating and maintenance costs are significantly reduced.
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of a device according to the invention in accordance with a second embodiment.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé pour la détection et l'analyse de rayonnement laser. Conformément à un premier mode de réalisation, le dispositif selon l'invention comprend une grille de diffraction, au moins une optique d'imagerie et au moins un détecteur qui comporte une multitude d'éléments détecteurs pour la détection de signaux du détecteur, le rayonnement laser incident étant transformé à travers le réseau de diffraction en un rayonnement diffracté qui est ensuite renvoyé à l'aide de l'optique d'imagerie sur le détecteur et y produit les signaux du détecteur. En outre, le dispositif se distingue par la présence d'une unité de lecture qui, pour la lecture des signaux du détecteur, se permute plusieurs fois par seconde entre une basse fréquence de lecture dans la plage allant de 10 à 100 Hz et une haute fréquence de lecture dans la plage allant de 500 Hz à 107 Hz, et par la présence d'une unité d'évaluation qui est configurée et réglée pour déterminer, sur la base des signaux de détecteur ainsi lus, une, plusieurs ou toutes les grandeurs suivantes : direction d'incidence du rayonnement laser, longueur d'onde du rayonnement laser, largeur de la bande de fréquence du rayonnement laser, taux de répétition des impulsions du rayonnement laser, longueur des impulsions du rayonnement laser. Le dispositif permet par conséquent la détection en parallèle dans le temps, la distinction et l'analyse de rayonnements laser pulsés et continus provenant de plusieurs sources laser.
