Power from both IR lasers combined, using a complex analysis for DL
and DH mode evaluations
3
OD – Optical Density is the index for filtration of a particular wavelength
and energy
4
The terms “5-cm”, “8-cm”, and “12-cm” refer to the objective lens
diameter of any optics that might be “downrange” from the MIPIM
WARNING
• Do not stare into the laser beams.
• Do not look into the laser beams through
binoculars or telescopes.
• Do not point the laser beams at mirror-like
surfaces.
• Do not shine the laser beams into other
individual’s eyes.
