<p>The present invention relates to a method of detecting sources of coherent radiation, which is achieved by depicting, simultaneously or at times close to each other, that part of the environment which is of interest by a radiation sensor, on the one hand with a vortex mask in front of the sensor (Fig. 2) and, on the other, without such a vortex mask (Fig. 1), and by subtracting the sensor signal from the measurement with a vortex mask from the one without such a mask, and determining the presence of a source of coherent radiation if the differential signal exceeds a predetermined threshold value. The invention also comprises a device using the method.</p> |
