General Optical-Limiting Requirements

Abstract

Optical-limiting devices and materials may be used to protect U.S. military personnel and equipment from laser radiation damage. Many who consider doing research in this area are not familiar with the U.S. military unclassified requirements for materials or devices that would be fielded. This report attempts to set general guidelines for researchers in the field.
