High-Sensitivity Laser Event Detector and Decoder
Mantis™ Laser Event Detector and decoder is an optical sensor that detects pulsed laser signals in its field of view and provides frame triggers to a camera to image the laser spots. It decodes and reports any laser designator PRF (pulse repetition frequency).
Mantis™ Laser Event Detector can be paired with Attollo’s Phoenix™ SWIR, Griffin™ broadband MWIR, and Aetos™ eSWIR cameras.
| Laser Name | Wavelength | Pulse Length | Laser Class | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Laser Target Designator (LTD) | 1064 nm | ＜ 25 ns | 4 | High power military laser used to guide munitions to their targets |
| Laser Target Marker (LTM) | 1064 nm | ＜ 25 ns | 4 | Lower power military laser (than LTD) used by ground troops to handoff to pilots for deploying munitions. |
| Laser Pointer | 830 nm | Continuous Wave (CW) | 4 | A highly collimated light beam for providing locations to others with night vision goggles (NVGs). |
| Laser Illuminator | Multiple wavelengths within SWIR | 1 ms – 30 ms | 3 | A laser-based flashlight with a wider field of coverage for providing light for imaging where little light resides. |
| Laser Rangefinder (LRF) | 905, 940, 1530-1570 nm | ＜ 25 ns | 1 | A short-pulsed, narrow beam of light used to determine the distance to target though time of flight measurement. |
