This invention relates to an active Laser Protection System (LPS) system
specifically designed to provide a device that automatically adjusts a
protection panel of the device in response to laser light exposure thus
preventing a user from being exposed to damaging laser light. In one
embodiment the LPS system utilizes a light weight portable goggle type
eyewear. In yet another embodiment the LPS system is comprised of contact
lenses worn by the user. The LPS system may be used in all light
transmissive surfaces where the penetration of laser light is not
desired, such as aircraft, spacecraft, vessel, train, and automotive
windshields, etc. The LPS system may also be utilized as a replacement
window for structures where laser light penetration is undesired. The
protection panels utilize Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) that are
activated by laser sensors by means of a microprocessor and power supply
means. The device also automatically replaces non-laser visible light
that may be blocked because the light was of the same wavelength as the
blocked light by projecting that light by means of activating the LCD
accordingly by means of the microprocessor.
