The U.S. Army is actively pursuing 3D active imaging techniques using laser sources emitting at 1.5 μm. This eyesafe short wave infrared (SWIR) waveband is advantageous due to both the improved eye safety and atmospheric propagation through obscurants. NVESD has several active programs in this area, which will be reviewed in this paper. These are: 1) single-pixel scanned imaging laser radar, 2) 2D gated SWIR imaging, and 3) 3D-flash laser radar. These systems are being evaluated for various targeting scenarios, including as potential payloads on unmanned air-vehicles, ground vehicles and other sensor suites. Applications include low-cost long-range target identification, identification of heavily obscured targets, obstacle avoidance, and high resolution imaging.

We propose a simultaneous classical communication and quantum key distribution (SCCQ) protocol based on plug-and-play configuration with an optical amplifier. Such a protocol could be attractive in practice since the single plug-and-play system is taken advantage of for multiple purposes. The plug-and-play scheme waives the necessity of using two independent frequency-locked laser sources to perform coherent detection, thus the phase noise existing in our protocol is small which can be tolerated by the SCCQ protocol. To further improve its capabilities, we place an optical amplifier inside Alice’s apparatus. Simulation results show that the modified protocol can well improve the secret key rate compared with the original protocol whether in asymptotic limit or finite-size regime.

Precision location technology is one of basic technologies to realize the farmland working machine automatic driving and prescription agriculture; it is an important content of modern intelligent agricultural machinery research. In order to study a low-cost and high-precision location system which can be applied in the small machine worked in the south paddy field, the study proposed a double laser sources location technology. With the known distance between two laser emitter, the dynamic emission angle of laser emitter can be acquired and the location coordinate of the moving machine can be accumulated. Then the real-time coordinate information and moving attitude also can be obtained. It lays a foundation for unmanned working machine and data acquisition from fixed-point in the paddy field. First, the principle of laser location was introduced in the paper, and it focused on the design of mechanical structure and controlling unit. Then, the automatic tracking and location experiment was carried when the system was fixed on the rice transplanter. And the experiment shows, the distance shifting of tracking curve is less than 7cm in the measurement of 100m, and the advantage of the high precision, low cost and high portability is very suitable for the location requirement of south farmland working machine.
