<title>Development of laser-based direct-write projection methods: sensor optics and system characterization issues</title>

Abstract

This paper describes the investication and potential utility ot usino the l)ircct Write Scene (kaicrator (I )VvS( to proJect onto a sensor system's local plane array (FPA) throuizh its optical telescope. The test approach requires dcveloimicnl of inaonifier/collimator systems to expand the I)WSG output to the sensor telescope. A lens svstcui has been procured to facilitate the projection to the full array of a standard ('Cl) with an attached lens svsteni. A demonstration ot operation of the l)WSG through camera optics has been recorded. 'Ihe capability of the l)WSG svsteni to measure' ['PA crosstalk has been exaniined in soiiie (letail.
