One of the major challenges in space optics and straylight management is measurement verification of performance at subsystem, instrument, payload or spacecraft level. The purpose of this activity is to assess the feasibility of using very short pulse length (ps or fs) lasers with time gating of fast synchronous detectors to perform a type of internal path length ranging of an optical system,in a process that could be considered as ‘straylight LIDAR’.
