  • Patent number: 10539800
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates devices and a method for monitoring a display image (2) in a transparent optical projection display. They disclose a display image monitor (1) comprising a fiber optic face plate (4) and an image sensor (5). The fiber optic face plate (4) comprises a first surface (4a) with optic fiber ends and a second surface (4b) with corresponding optic fiber ends and transfers light from the first surface (4a) to the second surface (4b) through the optic fibers, wherein the first surface abuts against a part (2a) of the display image (2) at a focused image plane (2b) and thus the light of the part of the display image enters the optic fiber ends and wherein the second surface is arranged to direct the part of the display image to the image sensor, thereby transferring the part of the display image to the image sensor.

  • Publication number: 20080026346
    Abstract: A target system for a weapon effect simulation system. The target system includes a retro-reflecting prism having at least three back surfaces arranged to an incident simulation beam. At least one of the back surfaces includes a first, selectively reflecting layer arranged to reflect a simulation beam of a predetermined optical wavelength range and being substantially transparent to optical wavelengths outside the range. A second layer is arranged on the first layer. The second layer is arranged to receive beams transmitted through the first layer. The second layer includes a material having an index of refraction sufficiently high to avoid total internal reflection between the first and second layer within a predetermined range of incident angles.

  • Patent number: 6819490
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for homogenizing the spatial intensity distribution of a spatially coherent radiation beam. The device includes a grating arranged in the propagation path of a spatially coherent radiation beam for diffracting the coherent beam and thus decreasing the coherence length of a diffracted radiation beam in a direction orthogonal to the propagation direction of the radiation beam relative to the width of the radiation beam in the orthogonal direction; and a radiation splitting and directing arrangement arranged in the propagation path of the diffracted radiation beam for splitting the diffracted radiation beam into spatially separated portions and for superimposing the spatially separated portions to form a radiation beam having a homogenized spatial intensity distribution.
