Application: Manufacturable metamaterials for active infrared systems (Patent ID: US20240159936A1)
The patent filed by BAE Systems Plc describes an active infrared system incorporating metamaterial optical elements, lens assemblies, and active cameras. These metamaterial optical elements are designed to operate in reflection and transmission modes, reflecting specific light wavebands from remote objects while transmitting a wider uniform background light. The system can include multiple metamaterial optical elements with different reflection and transmission modes to enhance performance.
The method outlined in the patent involves receiving light reflected by a remote object, reflecting specific laser wavebands using metamaterial optical elements to lens assemblies and active cameras, and generating images. The system also includes emitting uniform background light through cold plates, utilizing different metamaterial optical elements for reflecting various laser wavebands, and steering light using metamaterials on different surfaces. This innovative approach aims to improve the efficiency and functionality of active infrared systems for enhanced surveillance and imaging capabilities.
