Intense radiation protection device, useful for protecting eyes or optronic devices against pulsed visible or IR laser weapons, has a nonlinear material layer between the first matrix of a micro-lens matrix pair and a common focal plane

摘要

An intense radiation protection device comprises a nonlinear material layer between the first matrix of a micro-lens matrix pair and a common focal plane. A device for protecting a sensitive object against intense radiation comprises one or more image transport optics having one or more pairs of identical focal length micro-lens matrices with coincident focal planes and one or more nonlinear material layers positioned between the first matrix and the focal plane. Preferred Features: The matrices consist of Si, Ge, ZnS, ZnSe or chalcogenide or halide glass, and the nonlinear material layer consists of VO2.
