Fabrication of Ocular Protective Devices against Laser Radiation and Ballistic Fragments for Evaluation in Military Scenarios
Abstract
Methods were developed to provide laser protection against three specified wavelengths and to provide protection against ballistic fragments. These methods were applied to a variety of specific eye protection devices including spectacles, aviator visors, the clip-on frontsert for use with the Ballistic and Laser Eye Protection System (BLPS) and outsert for the M17 and M40 chemical mask. The ballistic protection was provided by fabricating all of the end items in polycarbonate which is the strongest of all of the optical quality moldable plastics. The basic technologies for laser protection that were developed were those of absorptive dyes and volume holographic notch filters.
