  • Method and system for countering laser technology
    Patent number: 7742170
    Abstract: Described herein is a method and system for providing a countermeasure against laser detection systems using nanocomponent material that is tailored to cloak or obscure a target from detection by transmitted laser radiation. The nanodot material absorbs and/or down-converts the transmitted laser radiation. Similarly, described herein is a method and system for providing a countermeasure against laser systems intended to blind a target through the use of a specifically engineered nanocomponent material for absorbing and/or down-converting the radiation from the laser system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 8, 2005
    Date of Patent: June 22, 2010
    Assignee: Science Applications International Corporation
    Inventors: Scott Earl McNeil, Martin Joseph Fritts, Roy Reed Heddleston, Martin B. Mark
