Abstract
A non-lethal dazzling device includes a laser operable in the visible spectrum. The laser can be a relatively low-powered laser, such as a laser having a maximum output power of 2.5 mW, or it can be a higher-powered laser with a drive circuit that lowers the maximum output power to a safe level based on the range of the hostile target from the laser. In certain embodiments, disclosed non-lethal dazzling device can be coupled to the bridge of a binocular device.
Claims13
A non-lethal binocular dazzling device comprising:
- a first optical housing including a first eye piece, a first objective lens, and a first mechanical focal element, the first optical housing being substantially cylindrical in shape;
- a second optical housing including a second eye piece, a second objective lens, and a second mechanical focal element, the second optical housing being substantially cylindrical in shape;
- an articulated bridge coupling the first optical housing to the second optical housing;
- a dazzling module operatively coupled to the articulating bridge, the dazzling module comprising:
- a laser drive circuit;
- a pushbutton operatively coupled to the laser drive circuit whereby the laser drive circuit is activated by a press of the pushbutton and produces a laser drive power;
- a dazzling laser coupled to and driven by the laser drive circuit, whereby the dazzling laser produces a beam proportional to the laser drive power.
