Paper Abstract
In some cases the FLIR has an open window in the 1.06 micrometer wavelength range; this capability is called 'see spot' and allows seeing a laser designator spot using the FLIR. A problem arises when the returned laser energy is too high for the camera sensitivity, and therefore can cause damage to the sensor. We propose a non-linear, solid-state dynamic filter solution protecting from damage in a passive way. Our filter blocks the transmission, only if the power exceeds a certain threshold as opposed to spectral filters that block a certain wavelength permanently. In this paper we introduce the Wideband Laser Protection Filter (WPF) solution for thermal imaging systems possessing the ability to see the laser spot.
