A Risley prism beamsteering development kit is being offered to experimenters and system designers interested in assessing the effectiveness of this beamsteering technology. The development kit includes a 20mm clear aperture Risley prism assembly (RPA), control electronics, and operating software.
Performance parameters of the development kit are representative of the characteristics of the higher-performance RPA products available from Optra. RPA beamsteering pointers and scanners feature an in-line configuration, compact size, low power, and wide field steering angles ideal for free-space optical communication, LIDAR/LADAR systems, laser machining, and passive imaging from small platforms.
