Knight Optical can offer transmit and receive windows and mirrors for LIDAR systems using visible, NIR (0.9 to 1.5µm) and Mid-Waveband Infra-Red (MWIR, 3 to 5µm) light. Since the 1960s, scientists have used LIDAR (light detection and ranging) to study the atmosphere. Short pulses of laser light are used to detect particles or gases in the atmosphere, like a radar bounces radio waves off rain drops in clouds. A telescope collects and measures reflected laser radiation, like a radar dish collects the radar signal, leading to a profile of the atmosphere's structure along the path of the laser beam. Researchers can then determine the location, distribution, and nature of atmospheric particles and molecular species using an advanced LIDAR method called the Differential Absorption Lidar (DIAL) technique.

Gas Detection Systems use Interference Bandpass Filters to identify the emission of a type of gas. Different gases emit at a specific wavelength which makes it identifiable when using a relevant Interference Bandpass Filter. These wavelengths are: Carbon Monoxide (CO) @ 4.73μm Nitric Oxide (NO) @ 5.24μm Nitrogen Dioxide (NO₂) @ 6.17μm Sulphur Dioxide (SO₂) @ 7.42μm Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) @ 3.55μm Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) @ 10.7μm Knight Optical provide a wide range of interference bandpass filters that can be used with gas detection. The Interference Bandpass Filters would be need to transmit in the infrared region. These would be a customised item, which we are very experienced in. We provide narrow, standard, broadband and extra broadband filters with a high optical density of 4 as standard, however this can be customised for you. For more information read PDF

THESE MASTS ARE NOT TELESCOPIC - INSTEAD THEY USE A UNIQUE ROLLABLE COMPOSITE. TRIED AND TESTED BY THE MILITARY FOR 20+ YEARS, NOW AVAILABLE TO NON-MILITARY CUSTOMERS. THE BI-STABLE ROLLABLE COMPOSITE ENABLES THEM TO BE ROLLED UP TO THE SMALLEST PACK SIZES FOR TRANSIT, AS WELL AS MAKING THEM LIGHTWEIGHT AND VERY QUICK & EASY TO DEPLOY AND RECOVER. System IAM takes these benefits one step further by integrating the antenna into the masts, thereby providing a unique plug & play communications solution. 7m available in 136-175MHz and 30-88MHz &/or 225-512MHz (UHF, VHF or dual band)

The MicroQuad antenna is typically used in conjunction with the QuadTac where it provides a base for the QuadTac. It can also be operated in isolation if only HF spectrum monitoring is required. Features: •Low visual signature •Rapidly deployable •Lightweight, compact folding design •Integrated GPS antenna

The QuadTac antennas provide 2-channel intercept and Direction Finding capability for a RESOLVE system. Specifically designed for On-the-March operations, the antenna can operate with the array elements extended for maximum sensitivity, or closed to reduce the visual signature. Features: •Low visual signature – QuadTac Mini has reduced height; the array elements in the QuadTac can be closed and still maintain intercept and DF capability •Rapidly deployable – lightweight, compact folding design (QuadTac) •Bearing Reference – built-in electronic compass provides absolute or relative Lines of Bearing •Flexible – manpack, tripod or vehicle mounted •Accurate – Built-in GPS provides accurate antenna location and system timing •Modular – Integrates with MicroQuad antenna subsystem
