5 Signal composition (Remote Sensing) SMAD Optical Payloads 5
6 Typical Reflectance for Terrestrial Surfaces How many sensor bands are required to identify all four surfaces? Optical Payloads 6
7 Two-band Sensor Solution Two spectral intervals are sufficient for this classification requirement. Obviously, would be also prudent to identify water, snow, ice, forest... SMAD Optical Payloads 7
8 Basic Telescope Optics Systems for gathering or transmitting optical and RF signals are identical in theory. Hardware is different. Telescope? Optical systems divided into two classifications: Optical Payloads 8
9 Reflection-Mirrors Optical Payloads 9
10 Transmission-Refraction Recall Snell s law Snell s law is the simple formula used to calculate the refraction of light when travelling between two media of differing refractive index. Dispersion if index of refraction is wavelength dependent n(λ) Refractive devices not popular in space imaging, since we need different lenses for UV, visual and IR. Optical Payloads 10
11 Diffraction Light travels in straight lines through uniform air, however it begins to disperse or "diffract" when goes through a small hole. This effect is normally negligible, but increases for very small apertures. Optical Payloads 11
12 Angular Resolution Angular resolution describes the resolving power of a telescope. Resolving power is the ability of the optical components of a telescope to clearly separate, or resolve, two star points (i.e., two Airy discs). The term resolution is the minimum distance between distinguishable objects in an image. The resolving power of a lens is ultimately limited by diffraction. An empirical diffraction limit is given by the Rayleigh criterion θ = 1.22 λ / D where θ is the angular distance from the center of the image to the first dark ring, λ is the wavelength of light, and D is the diameter of the lens. The factor 1.22 is used to approximate the ability of the human eye to distinguish two separate point sources depending on the overlap of their Airy discs. Modern telescopes with video sensors may be slightly better than the human eye in their ability to discern overlap of Airy discs. Optical Payloads 12
13 Diffraction Limited Goal is to design optical system to be diffraction limited at the wavelength of interest. The ability to produce optical images with angular separations as small as the instrument's theoretical limit. A telescope with this capability is said to be diffraction limited. Diffraction effects are the main contributors to this limit. What is resolution of human eye? Optical telescopes on the Earth at ground level? Radiotelescopes? Space-based telescopes? Compare hubble space telescope with Southern African Large Telescope (SALT). Can the Hubble Space Telescope see the Apollo craft on the moon? Optical Payloads 13
14 Focal Length I Parallel rays incident on an optic converge or diverge from a focal point whose distance from the center of the optic is known as the focal length, f Focal length is the primary factor in size of required optical configuration and it determines overall instrument size. The focal point F and focal length f of a positive (convex) lens, a negative (concave) lens, a concave mirror, and a convex mirror. What is the focal length of human eye? Optical Payloads 14
15 Focal Length II The focal length is a measure of how strongly it focuses or diverges light. A system with a shorter focal length has greater optical power than one with a long focal length. d is the thickness of a lens in air, r 1 and r 2 are radii of surfaces curvature, n is the refractive index of the lens medium Optical Payloads 15
16 Positive and negative lens d is the thickness of a lens in air, R 1 and R 2 are radii of surfaces curvature, n is the refractive index of the lens medium Optical Payloads 16
17 Field-Of-View (FOV) Determines the scope of the image. Defined by angle on the sky/ground we can see in one single image. Angular diameter of FOV: What is the FOV of human eye? What is the FOV of a rabbit? Optical Payloads 17
18 F-number Infinity F-number or F-stop is defined as F = f / D where D is the aperture or diameter of the system. F-number indicates the amount that the lens can open up or close down to let in more or less light, respectively. The greater the F-number, the less light per unit area reaches the image plane of the system. Consequently image brightness is proportional to I 1/F 2 = D 2 /f Numerical aperture NA = 1 / (2F) Largest numerical aperture used in air is 1.0, 1.33 for pure water, and up to 1.56 for oils. Optical Payloads 18
19 Plate Scale Plate scale relates the angular field of view (FOV) of a frame (typically measured in arcsec), to the size of the detector (typically in millimeter or pixel). Plate scale tells you the field of view for a given detector - the plate scale also gives you the total length of the focal path, f. If we know F# and diameter D, how to get plate scale in arc seconds? Optical Payloads 19

25 Space Based Imaging Optical Payloads 25
26 Ground Resolution Optical Payloads 26
27 Computing Diffraction Limited Resolution So, we can now compute the ground resolution for a range of representative payloads Can also apply to Synthetic Aperture Radar by synthesizing the required aperture Optical Payloads 27
28 Varying the quality factor If we implement an optical system using detector array, we add an additional design parameter, quality factor Q. Quality factor is ratio of pixel size d to diameter of diffraction disk d, defined Q = d / d Q also equal to X / X (X ground pixel size X ground resolution) Typically varied between 0.5 to 2. For Q<1, the resolution is limited by diffraction in the optics; for Q>1, the resolution is limited by pixel size. As a starting point for the design, select Q=1. Also we have d = (2.44λf/D)Q Very important in star cameras! Optical Payloads 28
29 Optical Aberrations I Chromic Aberration: Dispersion of light due to variation of refractive index with wavelength or frequency Modern lenses are dispersion adjusted for several wavelengths Spherical Aberration: Dispersion where light from element edges is focussed too near the element. Solution is to use parabolic lens elements. Most telescopes are designed to eliminate this aberration. Coma: Dispersion of off-axis portions of the image (coma of a comet). Coma of a single lens can be minimized (in some cases eliminated) by choosing the curvature of the lens surfaces to match the application Astigmatism: An aberration where the image is focused differently in the horizontal plane than from the vertical. Very common in humans! It is generally associated with poorly made optics or collimation errors. Distortion: The alteration of the original shape (or other characteristic) of an object, image, sound, waveform or other form of information or representation. These distortions are minimized by using symmetric doublets Curvature of Field: Caused by the light rays not all coming to a sharp focus in the same plane. The center of the field may be sharp and in focus but the edges are out of focus and vice versa. Optical Payloads 29

31 Basic Optical Configurations Optical Payloads 31
32 Optical Design Trade-offs Triplet design allows correction for all types of distortion but requires more optical elements Also, has largest sensitivity to optic element placement and tilt Even in perfectly focused image a point of light or star will appear as a central bright spot surrounded by concentric rings of light Optical Payloads 32
33 Typical Application: MOMS 2P Optical Payloads 33
34 Primary Aperture Types Examples: Hubble Space Telescope Examples: James Webb Space Telescope Examples: Very Large Telescope Optical Payloads 34
35 Telescope Types (I) Optical Payloads 35
36 Telescope Type (II) A refractor telescope is a type of optical telescope that refracts or bends light at each end using lenses. This refraction causes parallel light rays to converge at a focal point; while those which were not parallel converge upon a focal plane. Single Mirror (Newtonian): A small diagonal mirror is inserted in the focusing beam. A more accessible focused Spot, but produces a central obscuration in the aperture and off-axis coma. Optical Payloads 36
37 Telescope Types (III) Cassegrain (Two Mirrors) The Ritchey-Chrétien is free of coma and spherical aberration at a flat focal plane, making it well suited for wide field and photographic observations. Almost every professional reflector telescope in the world is of the Ritchey-Chrétien design. Optical Payloads 37

42 PART III - Detectors Optical Payloads 42
43 What is Detector? Optical Payloads 43
44 Classification of Optical Detectors Photo tube and photo multiplier tubes ( nm) are the examples of the photo emission type which has sensitivity in the region from ultra violet to visible light. Photodiode, phototransistor, photo conductive detectors and linear array sensors are examples of optical excitation types, which have sensitivity in the infrared region. Thermocouple bolometers and pyroelectric bolometers are examples of the thermal effect type, which has sensitivity from near infrared to far infrared regions. They must be cooled to liquid helium temperatures to avoid emission from the instrument itself. Optical Payloads 44
45 Photo Tubes A phototube is a type of gas-filled or vacuum tube that is sensitive to light. These devices operate according to the photoelectric effect: incoming photons strike a photocathode, generating electrons, which are attracted toward the anode. Thus current flow is dependent on the frequency and intensity of incoming light. Unlike photomultiplier tubes, no amplification takes place, so the 'on' current is typically on the order of microamps. One major application of the phototube was the reading of optical sound tracks for projected films. They were used in a variety of lightsensing applications until they were superseded by photoresistors and photodiodes. Optical Payloads 45
46 Photomultiplier Tubes (PMTS) Photomultiplier Tubes (PMTS) are light detectors that are useful in low intensity applications such as fluorescence spectroscopy. Due to high internal gain, PMTs are very sensitive detectors. PMTs are similar to phototubes. They consist of a photocathode and a series of dynodes in an evacuated glass enclosure. Photons that strikes the photoemissive cathode emits electrons due to the photoelectric effect. Instead of collecting these few electrons (there should not be a lot, since the primarily use for PMT is for very low signal) at an anode like in the phototubes, the electrons are accelerated towards a series of additional electrodes called dynodes. These electrodes are each maintained at a more positive potential. Additional electrons are generated at each dynode. This cascading effect creates 10 5 to 10 7 electrons for each photon hitting the first cathode depending on the number of dynodes and the accelerating voltage. This amplified signal is finally collected at the anode where it can be measured. Optical Payloads 46
47 Photo-conductive Detectors Absorbed incident photons produce free charge carriers in surface. Changes the electrical conductivity of the semiconductor. Resistance change can be measured by applying a bias voltage which is proportional to incident flux. Best devices have high dark resistance and low illuminated resistance. PbS, PbSe, MCT (Mercury-Cadmium-Telluride) and HgCdZnTe are suitable materials. Optical Payloads 47
48 Photodiodes Modes of operation Junction Photodiodes have transistor like p-n junctions that allow incident photons to release electrons. Can be operated in two modes Unbiased or Photovoltaic mode Electron-hole pairs migrate to opposite sides of the junction generating a charge. No bias voltage hence no flicker noise. Better NEP at low sample frequencies (<100Khz). Small linear dynamic range without additional circuitry. Biased or Photoconductive mode A reverse voltage bias is applied to junction. An incident photon flux dramatically alters the conductance across the junction that can be measured as a current. Careful operation near breakdown bias voltage can give further avalanche effect to amplify signal. Bias current causes flicker noise preferred for high frequency pulsed operation. Photon V Optical Payloads 48 n p
49 Photodiodes frequency characteristics Photodiode detection mechanisms wavelength dependent. A long wavelength cut-off occurs because incident photons do not have enough energy to create electronhole pairs. A short wavelength cut-off occurs because photons get absorbed before reaching the p-n boundary region. Surface reflection also contributes to non-ideal behaviour, reflecting photons instead of absorbing them 1 Quantum Efficiency (Si-Type) 0 200nm 1200nm Optical Payloads 49
50 Photodiodes - Types Si type: Most common covering UV, Visible and near-ir µm. GaN type: Good UV characteristics while rejecting IR. InSb type: Require liquid nitrogen cooling but offer excellent performance in 2-5µm range. Ge, InGaAs types: Similar to Si but require cooling. HgCdZnTe small band gap gives wide IR performance from 2 to 12µm. Require cooling. Optical Payloads 50
51 Thermal - Pyroelectric Detectors Pyroelectric materials exhibit an electric polarisation. When heated pyroelectric materials change their crystalline structure and consequently also their polarisaion. This change induces a charge build-up like a capacitor which can be measured. Transient Effect detectors only respond to pulsed or modulated radiation. A typical pyroelectric detector consists of a sandwich of pyroelectric material, electrodes and a blackened coating. They can be made extremely thin (100µm thick) improving thermal response time. Particularly applicable in devices where radiation is already modulated like FT-IR. V Black Coating Electrode Pyroelectric Electrode Optical Payloads 51
52 Thermal - Bolometers n n n n n A bolometer has a sensing element that changes resistance with temperature. We use bolometers to detect light in the farinfrared and mm-waves. Platinum or semiconductors (mixed metal oxides) exhibit this property. Tend to have a long response time (thermal mass) larger than 10ms though there have been recent advances in technology. Good infrared sensitivity. Can be employed with chopper or shutter reference. Das Bolometer Array Optical Payloads 52
53 Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) A CCD is an integrated-circuit chip that contains an array of capacitors that store charge when light creates e-hole pairs. The charge accumulates and is read in a fixed time interval. CCDs are used in similar applications to other array detectors such as photodiode arrays, although the CCD is much more sensitive for measurement of low light levels. A specially developed CCD used for ultraviolet imaging Clementine Near-Infrared camera (NIR) Optical Payloads 53
54 Applications - CCDs CCDs are used in digital cameras, optical scanners and video cameras as light-sensing devices. They commonly respond to 70% of the incident light (meaning a quantum efficiency of about 70%) making them more efficient than photographic film, which captures only about 2% of the incident light. An interesting astronomical application is to use a CCD to make a fixed telescope behave like a tracking telescope and follow the motion of the sky. The charges in the CCD are transferred and read in a direction parallel to the motion of the sky, and at the same speed. In this way, the telescope can image a larger region of the sky than its normal field of view. CCDs are typically sensitive to infrared light, which allows infrared photography, night-vision devices, and zero lux (or near zero lux) video-recording/photography. Because of their sensitivity to infrared, CCDs in astronomy are usually cooled to liquid nitrogen temperatures. Cooling also reduces the array's dark current, improving the sensitivity of the CCD to low light intensities, even for ultraviolet and visible wavelengths. Optical Payloads 54
55 Detector Characteristics Responsivity: Ratio of detector input vs. detector output R = S out / S in = (S out -S 0 ) / S in Usually an energy ratio [Watts]. Response Time: Time taken by detector to respond to a step change in irradiance and reach (1-1/e) or ~63% of its final value [seconds]. Linearity Range: Range over which detector will behave linearly. Usually quoted in terms of flux input power [W]. Bandwidth Δf : The frequency with which we make the measurement [Hz]. Equal to 1/(2πτ) of the time τ [s] over which we make the measurement. Quantum Efficiency (QE): Ratio of detector electrons produced to incident photons (photon detectors). It is an accurate measurement of the device's sensitivity and is often measured over a range of different wavelengths to characterize a device's efficiency at each energy. Photographic film typically has a QE of much less than 10%, while CCDs can have a QE of well over 90% at some wavelengths. Optical Payloads 55
56 Noise Equivalent Power (NEP) NEP is the incident photon flux that will produce a signal of a magnitude equal to the Root Mean Squared (RMS) noise output from the detector. Corresponds to a Signal to Noise ratio S/N = 1. Function of detector area, spectral frequency, modulation frequency, temperature and bandwidth. Units are Watts, but usually quoted with normalised bandwidth (1Hz) and units are Watts Hz -1/2. Optical Payloads 56
57 Normalised Detectivity D* I Detectivity is the reciprocal of NEP (D = 1 / NEP) and gives a figure of merit to compare sensors. Higher Detectivity = more sensitive detector. Normalised detectivity corrects for area and bandwidth. As we measure for longer our signal increases linearly in measurement time τ, but the noise increases as the square root (an effect of RMS averaging). Consequently, D x (1/ τ) 2 = D x Δf 1/2 is constant (all other things being the same). The same applies to the area of the detector: the signal increases linearly with detector area, and so the noise increases as the square root (or D x A 1/2 is constant). Optical Payloads 57
58 Normalised Detectivity D* II We can therefore define a new quantity normalised detectivity D* = D(A. Δf) 1/2 = (A. Δf) 1/2 / NEP where NEP is unnormalised or measured NEP in Watts. This allows a comparison of different types of detectors that is independent of detector area and bandwidth. Optical Payloads 58
59 Where Does Detector Noise Come From? Shot Noise Energy quantised into photons that arrive at random points in time. Causes variations in number of photons sampled over a discrete period. Generation-recombination Noise Where both positive and negative charge carriers are generated, spontaneous recombination of charge elements or spontaneous generation can cause variations in the signal. Time Sample 1 Sample 2 Optical Payloads 59
60 Where Does Detector Noise Come From II? Johnson (or thermal) Noise Thermal energy causes random motion of charge carriers inducing changes in resistance of detector or components in series. Flicker or 1/f noise Excess noise at low sample frequencies in detectors that require a bias current. Mechanism is not well understood but likely a conductive effect related to local capture and release of charge carriers in surface oxide layer of detectors. Scales as 1/f n (0.8<n<1.2). Readout Noise Transfer of charge between quantum well and storage register introduces measurement variations. Also Microphonic Noise, Electronic Noise and Temperature Noise Optical Payloads 60
61 Improving the signal Filling the detector: Image signal on whole active detector area Measure only what you want to see: spectral filtering and match detector characteristics to signal. Detector Lensing: Make detector look n 2 times bigger (IR). Cooling: reduces dark current and noise by factor of 2 every 5-20K. Use AC (alternating current) techniques to eliminate noise sources. Optical Payloads 61
62 Optimizing a CCD Imaging System (I) Sensitivity : Rather than the total amount of signal in an image (which depends on gain in the camera's electronics), sensitivity is the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) obtained with a given exposure time. The S/N is a measure of quality; the higher the ratio, the less gritty an image will appear. A very good deep sky object at least 25 S/N. Smaller pixel(9µm)=>longer exposure time (lower sensitivity) a faint deep sky object may be oversampled Larger pixel(24µm)=> greater sensitivity, undersampled for bright source. Optical Payloads 62
63 Optimizing a CCD Imaging System (II) Optical Payloads 63
64 Basic steps of optical/ir detectors The light is collected using static or dynamic optics such as scanning mechanisms and collimated to fit the subsequent optics. The front optics usually use an anti-reflection coating to ensure that all light of interest goes into the sensor. Further filters and collimating optics are used to select subsets of wavelengths known as spectral bands which pass through and focus onto a detector (or a set of detectors) that transforms photons to voltage. This voltage is amplified, digitized and then processed. This transformation has some properties that are unique to IR sensors, such as cooling the detector to minimize noise and using exotic materials to enhance the photon electron conversion.

66 Observation Payload Design I The E&M radiation that forms the basis of remote sensing arises as a by-product of energy being transferred from one to another. In S/C remote sensing we are concerned with processing measurements from four primary spectral types: Visible systems: UV (~0.3 micron) Visual spectrum (~0.75 micron). Infrared systems: operate in various bands through infrared spectrum (~1-100 microns) Microwave radiometers: radio frequency range ( GHz). Radar systems. Optical Payloads 66
67 Observation Payload Design II There are a number different approaches for linking the fundamental physics of the Planck function to the practical design of remote sensing systems. Depending on the spectral range, we define three basic categories of Earth observation. Optical Payloads 67
68 Observation Payload Design III Figure shows the radiance available from direct and reflected radiation sources According to Planck s law, the thermal emitted radiance of the earth increases with wavelength, reflected radiance decreases with wavelength. Optical Payloads 68
69 Scanning or Active Pointing Electro-optical imaging instruments use mechanical or electrical means to scan the scene on the ground. May also take advantage of spacecraft motion over the ground to observe Point observation instruments can be turned into scanning instruments with addition of single scan mirror Can also slew spacecraft (obvious trade) though operationally more complex.
