This paper presents a method of estimation of the nominal ocular hazard distance (NOHD) and the nominal ocular dazzle distance (NODD) for multibeam laser radiation. For the analysis, laser beams propagating in the same optical path (overlapping) but with different wavelength, power, and divergences in two perpendicular planes were assumed. To the authors' best knowledge, such a comprehensive analysis of multiple beams, considering the above parameters, is being presented for the first time. The dazzling possibilities described thus far assumed a single beam of radiation with a circular cross-section. This article also presents the calculation results of the NOHD and the NODD values for three laser beams with wavelengths in the red, green, and blue radiation spectrum with assumed parameters. Similar calculations were also made for a commercial laser source with potential use for laser dazzling. The presented analysis did not take into account the attenuation of radiation by the atmosphere. Moreover, the study provides recommendations on how to design effective, but safe, multiwavelength laser dazzlers.
本文提出了一种估算多光束激光辐射的标称眼危险距离(NOHD)和标称眼眩光距离(NODD)的方法。为进行分析,假设激光束在同一光路中传播(重叠),但在两个垂直平面内具有不同的波长、功率和发散角。据作者所知,首次针对多光束进行了考虑上述参数的全面分析。迄今为止所描述的眩光可能性均假定为具有圆形横截面的单束辐射。本文还给出了具有假定参数的红、绿、蓝辐射光谱中三束激光的NOHD和NODD值的计算结果。对于可能用于激光致眩的商用激光源也进行了类似计算。所呈现的分析未考虑大气对辐射的衰减。此外,该研究还就如何设计有效但安全的多波长激光致眩器提供了建议。
