A “Zen Technologies” company in India has created an optical filter that may increase the accuracy, longevity, and ease of maintenance of laser training systems for the military.
The new “Single ILU Long Pass Filter,” which combines visible and infrared laser beams into a single, stable output, represents a departure from conventional configurations that employ separate beams and frequently have alignment problems.
Laser-based combat training uses visible beams to help teachers track a student’s aim and infrared beams to mimic real firing, usually requiring two separate systems.
