Abstract
The present invention uses laser diodes in conjunction with a holographic diffuser and lens assembly to generate and effectively disperse the radiation (infrared light) in a spectrum and pattern that is interpreted as heat by certain vision systems to effectively interfere with the electronic processing capability of the vision systems.
Claims26
A method for interference with the electronic processing capability of vision systems comprising:
- generating radiation from at least one diode;
- collecting said radiation from said at least one diode in at least one lens;
- directing said radiation to a diffusion system, said diffusion system being adapted to perform a non-linear operation on said radiation;
- diffusing the radiation into viewing target areas to create at least one radiation field that covers the viewing target for said vision system, thereby interfering with the electronic capability of vision systems, wherein said diode emits a pulsed radiation in an encoded and encrypted manner.
A method for interfering with the electronic processing capability of a vision system, comprising:
- creating a first infrared light pulse of a first time period;
- diffusing said first infrared pulse through a first Fourier transform at a target to block viewing of said target with said thermal vision system;
- creating a second infrared light pulse of a second time period, the second time period being a time period that is longer than the first time period;
- diffusing said second infrared light pulse through a Fourier transform at said target;
- generating a third infrared pulse of a third time period, the third time period being a time period that is longer than the first time period and longer than the second time period;
- and diffusing said second infrared light pulse through a Fourier transform at said target to interfere with the electronic processing capability of the vision system.

- creating a first infrared light pulse of a first time period;
- diffusing said first infrared pulse through a first Fourier transform at a target to block viewing of said target with said thermal vision system;
- creating a second infrared light pulse of a second time period, the second time period being a time period that is longer or shorter than the first time period;
- diffusing said second infrared light pulse through a Fourier transform at said target;
- generating a third infrared pulse of a third time period, the third time period being a time period that is longer or shorter than the first time period and longer or shorter than the second time period;
- and diffusing said second infrared light pulse through a Fourier transform at said target to interfere with the electronic processing capability of the vision system.
