PASSIVE, WIDE-SPECTRAL-BAND LASER THREAT SENSOR

摘要

The present disclosure describes methods and systems for passive detection of wide-spectral-band laser emissions. One method includes receiving optical energy from an emission source at a surface of an object, transmitting the received optical energy through the surface using a detection patch coupled to the surface, the detection patch incorporating an exterior terminating end of each of one or more of a plurality of optical fibers embedded in a casting, transmitting the optical energy to a light sensor using a light pipe coupled to interior terminating ends of the one or more optical fibers, and analyzing, by operation of a computer, the optical energy received at the light sensor.
