Testing laser systems / LRF boresight station

LATRA works on two modes: A) transmitter boresight mode, B) receiver boresight mode. The aim of transmitter boresight mode is to align optical axis of the transmitter to line of sight of aiming channel or inverse. Basically the aim is to achieve situation when aiming mark of the aiming channel indicate center of laser beam emitted by transmitter that irradiates a far away target. It should be noted that this aim is valid for any design of aiming channel: internal aiming channel at visible band, internal pointer, mechanical adapter that indicates reference mechanical axis, or external attachable aiming device (VIS-NIR camera, SWIR camera, or thermal imager). The aim of the receiver boresight mode is align optical axis of the receiver to achieve situation when center of laser spot irradiated by the transmitter on a far away target is located in center of field of view of the receiver. In other works, the receiver must see target irradiated by transmitter in its field of view. Work of LATRA in mode A is based on a concept to create image of laser beam at far away plane that could be visible for aiming channel of tested LRF. In detail, LATRA in mode A works according to eight step procedure: 1. regulation of angular position of LRF to achieve situation when aiming mark of the aiming channel indicates aiming target simulated by LATRA, 2. inserting of laser sensing card, 3. shooting of tested LRF, 4. creation of laser spot at collimator focal plane that simulates plane of far away target, 5. conversion of SWIR image of the laser spot to visible band or to thermal band, 6. projection of converted image of the laser spot into direction of aiming channel of tested LRF, 7. calculation of angle between center of laser spot and aiming mark, 8. correction of angular position of tested LRF (if the angle is too high). Work of LATRA in mode B is based on a concept of a system capable to show direction for regulation of angular position of receiver of LRF needed to achieve perfect aligning. In detail, LATRA in mode B works according to six step procedure: 1. regulation of angular position of LRF to achieve situation when aiming mark of the aiming channel indicates aiming target simulated by LATRA, 2. shooting of tested LRF, 3. tested LRF indicates measured distance to simulated target, 4. LATRA indicates direction for regulation of angular position of receiver of LRF needed to achieve perfect aligning 5. steps 2-3 are repeated until near perfect position is found. 6. Optional calculation of the angle between center of FOV of the receiver and and aiming mark of the aiming channel. LATRA is a modular station built using series of blocks: CDT12100HR off-axis reflective collimator (option CDT15120 collimator), SOA set of optical attenuators, LSC set of laser sensing cards, CAP card pocket, MTI multitarget illuminator, LPS set of laser pulse sources, OTR optical trigger, RAC reference aiming camera, ROD reference optical detector, XNAS-B angular stage, HEC camera, LATRA Control program, BOR computer program. Boresight (aligning) of modules of LRF is typically the most time consuming period of manufacturing or repairing of LRFs. LATRA is a user friendly, reliable station that enable fast measurement of aligning errors and finding near perfect boresight of virtually all LRFs offered on international market. It is a very useful tool for both production line or for workshops repairing of LRFs.
