ABSTRACT:
A non-linear optical assembly for creating a synthetic aperture. The assembly includes an external source of radiation; at least two discrete non-linear elements, each of which elements has a defined aperture for receiving radiation outputted by the source; and an optical feedback means in operative association with the non-linear elements, for optically self-coupling the elements so that the elements collectively define a synthetic aperture that is greater than the defined aperture for any single element.
