Abstract
A Coherent Phased Array Beam Transmission and Imaging System is disclosed for end-to-end compensation of a plurality of laser beams through a turbulent medium to a non-cooperative target where the optical device used to transmit and receive laser energy is a plurality of optical transceivers (typically a telescope, but often referred to as a subaperture telescope or transceiver). The Coherent Phased Array Beam Transmission and Imaging System controls the plurality of laser beams (that originate from a single master oscillator laser and are amplified and/or transported using separate beam paths) to coherently combine the outgoing beams from each subaperture to form a single phased beam at the target. The preferred embodiment for the Coherent Phased Array Beam Transmission and Imaging System includes a method to maintain the beam hit spot on the target aim point at the full resolution of the array.
