Welcome to Orlando! SPIE DCS 2023

Laser Spot Tracker

OEM Electronics for the Generation and Detection of Laser Light

SPIE’s Defense and Commercial Sensing exposition opens today. AMI is exhibiting our latest receiver and diode driver products in our booth #918. If you are in Orlando for the conference, please stop by AMI’s booth; Gary and Tim will be happy to discuss our latest products and learn about your application’s requirements.

Among the products featured is our Model 742DP Laser Spot Tracker Module.

SPIE Defense & Commercial Sensing Conference laser spot trackerThe Model 742DP is a new generation of Laser Spot Tracker Module with wide flexibility for missile and platform tracker applications. The detector is temperature controlled and optimized for 1.06 µm. Independent five channel noise detectors set the lowest thresholds to achieve long acquisition ranges for different background light and spot positions and special circuits resist sunlight blinding in any one or all quadrants. A range of N-type custom-designed detectors gives the highest performance at 1.06 µm. A separate substrate allows the detector size or type to be optimized for your application. Model 742DP comprises a hermetically-sealed temperature-controlled detector with built-in front-end electronics, mounted on a SMT board. A second printed board contains analog and digital processing circuits. The individual channels are digitized with a high-speed A-D converter and output as a serial digital interface for steering. An adaptive threshold control allows optimum signal-to-noise operation and power management is used to reduce power consumption.

Key Features:

  • VERY HIGH SENSITIVITY
  • ULTRA-WIDE DYNAMIC RANGE
  • DECODING INCLUDED
  • OPTIMIZED FOR 1.06 µm
  • SUNLIGHT TOLERANT
  • UP TO 14.1 mm DIAMETER QUADRANT DETECTOR

Featured Products

Model 755A-04.1

Hybrid eyesafe laser rangefinder receiver is designed for laser rangefinding & surveying equipment. Compact construction is ideal for miniature applications. Fast recovery from To overload allows ranging to close objects without compromising long range performance. The incorporation of an InGaAs APD gives very high sensitivity with time programmed gain to minimize false targets. Operation at both 1.06 µm and 1.54 µm is possible over a wide range of pulse widths.
