DEVICE FOR REMOTE MEASUREMENT OF OPTOPHYSICAL PARAMETERS OF OBJECTS

remote sounding of the Earth surface from space vehicles and aviation carriers of various classes for measurement of optophysical parameters of objects. SUBSTANCE: the device has the first and second linear polarizers (1,2), which jointly with optical wedge 3 and circular polarizer 4 are rigidly installed in turret assembly 9 secured on the shaft of turning motor 10, and light filter 5, objective lens 6, multielement radiation detector 7 are installed in succession and optically interconnected. Turret assembly 9 with turning motor 10, light filter 6, detector 7 make up an optical unit, which is installed in housing 11. Housing 11 is provided with a joint assembly rigidly coupled to discrete turning mechanism 12. Detector 7 via analog-to-digital converter 8 is connected to internal storage 13. The polarimetric device, with low dimensional and weight parameters and low amount of the element base, provides for increasing the accuracy of measurements by N times, where N-number of angular measurements, which makes it possible to provide identification of objects with superclose parameters and obtain data on microphysical structural features of objects. EFFECT: enhanced accuracy of measurements. 2 dwg
