Method for operating an electronic dazzling element, and electronic dazzling element

A method for operating an electronic dazzling element for emitting light pulses to disorient people and confuse sensor systems, the dazzling element having at least one optical emitter with at least one electronic light-emitter for emitting light pulses, the method comprising:

• controlling the at least one electronic light-emitter of the at least one optical emitter in such a way that a light pulse sequence emitted by the at least one electronic light-emitter is adapted to a physiology of a human eye, and thereby to the properties of the human process by;
• forming the light pulse sequence with a disorientation sequence in which alternately, one after another, a plurality of dazzle pulse sequences with a plurality of dazzle pulses are emitted to bring about a disorienting effect on a target person and a plurality of dazzle pauses without the dazzle pulses are emitted, a period duration of one sequence having a dazzle pulse sequence and a subsequent dazzle pause being at most 250 ms;
• and/or
• forming the light pulse sequence with a disorientation sequence in which a plurality of dazzle pulses is emitted to bring about a disorienting effect on a target person, and the light pulse sequence furthermore contains a pre-sequence preceding the disorientation sequence in which stimulus light, which is perceptible by the target person, is emitted having a luminance of at most 1×103 cd/m2 to draw the target person's attention and thus shift the target person's line of sight towards the dazzling element.
