Point;target detection in a cluttered environment,funding: Elisra Electroncics, Ltd.; Effect ofvibrations on target acquisition, funding:Israel Ministry of Science; Spectroscopy ofsolid-state laser materials; Target acquisitionusing infrared sensors.
Abstracts of Current Research:
  • Infrared Target Aquisition Modeling: We are modeling target acquisition by infraredsystems used by human observers. We are incorporating into this model the effect of clutter in the surroundingsand the size of the field of view.
  • Spectroscopy of solid-state laser models:: We have developed a model tocalculate the energy transfer rate in codopedlaser materials between correlated(non-random) acceptors and donors.Experimental methods to exploit correlationto develop improved solid-state lasermaterials are under investigation in theElectro-Optics Laboratory.
