Abstract: There are disclosed aiming and target identification devices useful with firearms. One device includes a laser diode capable of emitting visible, infrared or ultraviolet light at the operator's selection to form a laser using a single or compound collimator. A single collimator can be repositioned at different distances from the laser source to ensure proper positioning to create a laser beam for the particular wavelength of light emitted from the laser diode. A compound collimator could have different collimating regions and be configured to rotate to cause the different collimating regions to receive light emitted from the laser source such that different light wavelengths are properly collimated without needing to alter the distance from the collimator to the laser diode.

Abstract: This application discloses systems and methods of a laser device which could be used to aim firearms. The device includes a laser diode capable of emitting two or more different wavelengths of light to form a laser using a collimator, for example a single collimator or a compound collimator. In embodiments using a single collimator, the collimator can be repositioned at different distances from the laser diode to ensure proper positioning to create a laser beam for the particular wavelength of light emitted from the laser diode. In embodiments using a compound collimator, the collimator could have different collimating regions and be configured to rotate to cause the different collimating regions to receive light emitted from the laser diode such that different light wavelengths are properly collimated without needing to alter the distance from the collimator to the laser diode.

Abstract: A light generation and emission system and method is disclosed. A light generator generates light from a diode at a wavelength between 300 nm and 490 nm. A light beam forming subsystem forms the light to a directional light beam, and a controller that controls and directs the directional light beam to a target. The light generator can be suitably used for aiming, target acquisition, communication, identification, scanning, surveying, tracking, ignition and weapons operation.
