  • Publication number: 20240151577
    Abstract: A system for controlling the activation/deactivation of an electromagnetic shielding screen of a porthole or a protective window of an optoelectronic equipment, which includes, a radiofrequency electromagnetic sensor, with a bandwidth adapted to a cut-off band of said shielding screen corresponding to a range of electromagnetic fields to be blocked, connected to a detector-rectifier with a sensitivity higher than a minimum value of the power of an electromagnetic field to be blocked by means of said shielding screen and a device for activating/deactivating said electromagnetic shielding screen, said detector-rectifier being configured, in the presence of the electromagnetic field with a power exceeding said minimum value, to activate said device for activating/deactivating the electromagnetic shielding screen by capturing the electromagnetic energy supplied by said electromagnetic fields with a power exceeding said minimum value.

  • Publication number: 20230299214
    Abstract: An optically transparent electromagnetic shielding assembly exhibiting a shielding efficiency that is increased when a conducting or polarizable fluid produces a low electrical impedance value between a periphery and a central region of a window. Such shielding assembly is useful in detection systems that are exposed to varying intensities of electromagnetic radiation, such as microwave radiation.

  • Patent number: 11563128
    Abstract: A shielding element comprises a rigid substrate and at least one electrically conductive two-dimensional structure which is placed on one of the faces of the substrate. The substrate and the electrically conductive two-dimensional structure are such that the shielding element has optical-transmission and shielding-efficiency values at least one of which varies between two zones of the shielding element. Such a shielding element enables easier assembly of a detection system comprising multiple optical sensors.

  • Patent number: 11060920
    Abstract: An optically transparent electromagnetic shield assembly comprising an electrical connection device with variable electrical resistance. The electrical connection device electrically connects a conductive two-dimensional structure, which covers a transparent substrate, to a shell portion which is electrically conductive. The resistance of the connection device can be adjusted, either initially for a detection system for which the shield assembly is intended or in real time while the shield assembly is in use, according to an RF radiation intensity.
