Abstract
We present an active imaging system using an upconversion detection scheme to detect the infrared light with a low noise visible camera. The system comprises one single fiber amplification chain to generate both the illumination pulse signal at 2 µm and the pump pulse at 1.55 µm for sum-frequency generation in a PPLN crystal. The 10 nm wide pump spectrum expands the phase matching condition of the system and increases the number of spatial modes signal up to 128x128 pixels, compatible with active imaging requirements. The whole setup is movable and we will present images from outdoor scenes.
