Abstract
In support of the development of a new initiative in the
field of multiplexed image spectroscopy, a high torque,
servo system was developed. Utilizing only a low resolution
shaft position encoder, the system demonstrated an excellent
ability to track a pulse input signal with high precision
and stability. Ultimately, this servo system will be
incorporated into a new generation of multiplexed imaging
and imaging spectroscopy instruments. It will provide those
instruments with the capability to accurately rotate into
position a sequence of optical image encoding masks and it
will tightly control that position, even in the presence of
external perturbations. A computer will read the light
intensity signals from a sensor and quickly decode the image
for viewing and analysis. Further research into this technology should lead to full development of an extremely
efficient infrared imaging system, with additional
applications to passive surveillance, target signature
identification, and airborne infrared astrophysics.
