Abstract
Methods and apparatus for monostatic pulsed time-resolved wide-field-of-view underwater laser imaging. In embodiments, a rotatable optical assembly consisting of a single pyramid mirror and optical ports for each facet is used to both direct a transmitted pulsed laser beam to a target and focus the return signal to a high dynamic range detector, such as a photomultiplier tube, The detector output signal is sampled by a high-speed digitizer and can be processed to generate three-dimensional images.
