Benton* Aston University, Aston Triangle, Birmingham, West Midlands, United Kingdom Abstract. A low-cost method of detecting lasers based on detecting coherence properties of received light is presented. The method uses an unbalanced Mach–Zehnder interferometer with a modulating piezo-mounted mirror in one arm to discriminate against incoherent background light and identify the presence of laser radiation at the nW level against much brighter backgrounds. The wavelength of the coherent input can be determined by comparing the intensities of the modulation frequency harmonics. © The Authors.

  • Low-Cost Laser Detection System with a 360-Deg Horizontal Field of View
    Low-cost laser detection system with a 360-deg horizontal field of view Marie Zandi ,* Kate Sugden, and David M. Benton Aston University, Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies, Aston Triangle, Birmingham, United Kingdom Abstract. A low-cost laser detection system based on coherence detection has been developed and is able to detect weak, continuous laser sources even against bright background light. The system is composed of a Mach–Zehnder interferometer with one arm modified with a piezo- mounted mirror to modulate the path length. We introduce methods to determine the laser wave- length and to extend the horizontal field of view of the detector. To widen the field of view, a cone mirror is added to the system while the additional use of a camera allows the direction of the incoming laser beam to be studied. The wavelength from three different lasers is estimated with the use of the modulation amplitude of the piezo mirror. The preliminary results demon- strate that a 360-deg horizontal field of view can be achieved and that the direction of the laser beam can be determined with an estimated angular precision of Æ5 deg. Moreover, the wave- length can be determined with a precision of Æ10 nm. The system trades sensitivity for a larger field of view with the resultant detection sensitivity equal to 70 nW (or 1 μW · cm−2) at 635 nm. © The Authors.
