Power Measurements for Microvision, Inc., Aircrew Integrated Helmet System Scanning Laser Helmet-Mounted Display

Abstract

Program Manager, Aircrew Integrated Systems (PM-ACIS) is developing a new helmet-mounted display (HMD) technology based on scanning lasers. Under this program, Microvision, Inc., Bothell, Washington, has developed a scanning laser HMD prototype for use with the Aircrew Integrated Helmet System (AIHS) Helmet Gear Unit - 56/P (HGU-56/P). As part of a comprehensive laser safety evaluation plan, power measurements of the prototype system were made at the design eye position for both normal and failure modes. For normal operation, right eye and left eye measurements of 1.48 and 1.58 microwatts were obtained. For total scanner failure, a value of 77 microwatts was obtained.
