Optical Power Limiters Countering Frequency Agile Lasers and Dazzlers
AI Overview
This SBIR solicits nonlinear optical dyes embedded in sol-gel glass to protect military EO/IR sensors from frequency-agile lasers and dazzlers. The technology must rapidly switch from transparent to blocking states while maintaining ambient light transmission and surviving 10,000+ pulses without degradation.
This summary is AI-generated from the official solicitation.
Key Details
Official Description
The proliferation of commercial, visible, and infrared wavelength laser systems is increasingly becoming a threat to our warfighters, which drives the need for further research and development for electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor. Current fielded sensor protection equipment is limited to fixed wavelength filters. However, broad band filters that are designed to circumvent multiwavelength laser threats are plagued by low transmittance, which degrades the sensitivity and performance of the ...
