Abstract
Systems and methods presented herein provide for calibrating a streak tube. The method includes inserting fiducial light to received optical signal. The fiducial light has at least one predetermined attribute. The method also includes correcting environmental degradation of the streak tube based on the at least one predetermined attribute of the fiducial light to calibrate the streak tube.
Claims21
An optical system, comprising:
- insertion optics for combining fiducial light with a received optical signal, the fiducial light having at least one predetermined attribute;
- a streak tube;
- and
- a processor operable to correct environmental degradation of the streak tube based on the at least one predetermined attribute of the fiducial light.
A method for calibrating a streak tube, the method comprising:
- combining fiducial light with a received optical signal, the fiducial light having at least one predetermined attribute;
- and
- correcting environmental degradation of the streak tube based on the at least one attribute of the fiducial light to calibrate the streak tube.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, are operable to direct the processor to calibrate a streak tube by:
- combining fiducial light with a received optical signal, the fiducial light having at least one predetermined attribute;
- and
- correcting environmental degradation of the streak tube based on the at least one attribute of the fiducial light to calibrate the streak tube.
