Title

Sensor Controls See The Light

Abstract

Light-based controls for sensors is an emerging technology with widespread applications in communications, radar, biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering, and the basic sciences such as astronomy and material science. Advantages of light-based control over all-electronic controls include ease in remote use of the sensor front-end; operation over a wide range of frequencies; reduction in weight, size, and power consumption of the controls hardware; exceptionally high sensor instantaneous bandwidth and sensing resolutions; and high resistance to EMI and EMP. This article details some of the recently developed optical controls techniques for sensors, based on large-area, multipixel, thin-film, liquid crystal devices used as polarization-sensitive elements.
