Large Diameter Optical Slip-Rings.

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA147700 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This technical memorandum describes two different types of optical slip-rings developed for use with a rotating platform which has a column diameter of 13 mm. The preferred type is then combined with an on-axis coupling described elsewhere for use on an experimental track-while-scan secondary radar system.
