OPTRA's Laser Detection system provides users with the means to detect and measure laser information that is in
the vicinity of harmful radiation to the eye, and leverages digital camera technology with wavelength
encoding optics to measure the energy, wavelength, and temporal characteristics
of lasers operating in the visible to near-IR regime.

Incident light is diffracted and the resulting orders are
imaged onto a Focal Plane Array. The
diffracted images are collected and processed in real-time by an onboard
embedded controller to extract the laser event information, which is then
time-tagged with GPS information and saved to a removable flash disk. The system also provides real-time onboard visual
warning of both the presence of laser radiation and whether it is at levels
that can potentially damage the eye.
