Research abstract
PERSONNEL REQUIRED SOME MEANS OF EYE PROTECTION AGAINST VARIOUS TYPES OF LASERS WHILE INVOLVED IN OPERATIONAL SITUATIONS, BUT ALSO NEED TO BE ABLE TO SEE IN A NORMAL MANNER. WE PROPOSE HERE AN INDIRECT VIEWING SYSTEM CONTAINING A MIRROR WHICH WILL NOT PASS ANY LIGHT INTENSE ENOUGH TO HARM THE EYE BUT WILL OTHERWISE ALLOW NORMAL VIEWING. THE MIRROR WILL BE CONSTRUCTED OF REFLECTIVE THIN FILM AND ORGANIC GLASS WHICH WILL BE DAMAGED BY INTENSE LIGHT SUFFICIENTLY TO PREVENT THE LIGHT'S REFLECTION. THE PROJECT WILL INVOLVE STUDYING THE APPLICABILITY OF VARIOUS THIN REFLECTIVE FILMS AND ORGANIC GLASSES TO SUCH A MIRROR, AND SUBSEQUENTLY FABRICATING AND TESTING PREPROTOTYPE ARTICLES.
