This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project is to develop an innovative, ultra-fast, self-reactive laser eye protection (LEP) device. Made from vanadium dioxide (VOx) nano particles, this novel LEP will best protect human eyes and optical sensors from laser injury in the visible to short wave infrared (SWIR).Since the new LEP device has an extremely low optical limiting threshold as compared to the state-of-the-art carbon nanotube based LEP, it would not require a focal lens array for application. Another advantage is that the device is solid state and can be fabricated on ballistic proof polycarbonate (PC) substrates. Lastly, the LEP device doesn't need external power, thus eliminating the concerns about possible power failure.

这个小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目是开发一种创新的，超快的，自反应的激光眼睛保护（LEP）设备。这种新型的LEP由二氧化钒（VOx）纳米颗粒制成，在可见光至短波红外（SWIR）波段，能够最好地保护人眼和光学传感器免受激光损伤。由于这种新型的LEP器件与目前最先进的基于碳纳米管的LEP相比具有极低的光限幅阈值，因此不需要使用聚焦透镜阵列。另一个优点是该装置是固态的，并且可以在防弹聚碳酸酯（PC）基底上制造。最后，LEP设备不需要外部电源，从而消除了对可能的电源故障的担忧。
