ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a wide field of view electro-optic detector and locator of coherent light of unknown wavelength that includes a collecting optic that collimates incoming optical radiation, a common-path electro-optic polarization interferometer placed at an exit pupil plane, an imaging optic, a detector array placed one focal length away from said imaging optic, an image processor that processes the incoming signal in a manner that is independent of the phase of the modulation signal, and an output device. The preferred collecting optic includes a first lens, a field lens, and a collimating lens. The preferred interferometer includes a first polarizer, a liquid crystal variable phase modulator, a fixed phase retarder, and a second polarizer.
