Laser Polarimeter Classifies Remote Material

Advanced Optical Technologies, Inc. (AOT) has been awarded a Phase 2 SBIR contract to develop a next-generation laser polarimeter for the US Army RDECOM CERDEC Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD), traditionally known as the US Army Night-Vision Labs. The polarimeter will implement AOT’s polarization-components techniques (PCT), which apply machine-learning algorithms to polarimeter data for remote material classification.
