`The present invention pertains to radiant energy systems and more particularly to
`systems exhibiting the retroreflection principle wherein the system comprises a
`focusing means and a surface exhibiting some degree of reflectivity positioned
`near the focal plane of the device, and wherein incident radiation falling within
`the field-of-view of said system is reflected.back in a direction which is parallel
`to the incident radiation. The present invention has great applicability in military
`optical system applications for detecting the presence of an enemy employing
`surveillance equipment and for neutralizing this surveillance capability..

`The present invention pertains to radiant energy systems and more particularly to
`systems exhibiting the retroreflection principle wherein the system comprises a.
`focusing means and a surface exhibiting some degree of reflectivity positioned
`near the focal plane of the device, and wherein incident radiation falling within
`the field-of-view of said system is reflected back in a direction which is parallel
`to the incident radiation.
`It is another object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus to
`detect objects having retroreflection characteristics.by illuminating the same
`with a radiant energy source.
`It is a more particular object of the present invention to provide a method and
`apparatus for scanning an area to detect the presence of optical instruments such
`as binoculars, telescopes, periscopes, range finders, cameras, and the like.

`It is a further object of the present invention to provide means and apparatus for
`deteimining the characteristics of a device exhibiting retroreflection
`characteristics from a remote location.
`It is a fuither object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus
`for detecting optical instruments for rendering the instruments ineffective and for
`neutralizing humans utilizing said instruments by employing lasers or similar
`high energy sources.
`It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a method and
`apparatus for transmitting and receiving radiant energy-utilizing concentric
`optics.
`(US6603134)
`The present invention has great applicability in military optical system
`applications for detecting the presence of an enemy employing surveillance
`equipment and for neutralizing this surveillance capability.
`The acuity of vision is greatest at the macula lutea and more particularly at the
`fovea centralis.
`However, if it is desired to neutralize the observer using the instrument, or to
`render the instrument ineffective, then the utilization system 192 will feed a
`signal to the laser 186 activating the same and causing a high intensity laser
`beam to be directed at the instrument, thereby accomplishing the aforementioned
`objects.
`One type of optical device which exhibits' this phenomenon, and thus is a
`particular type ofretroreflector, is a corner reflector consisting of three mutually
`perpendicular reflecting planes, However, this type of retroreflector is both'
`difficult and expensive to fabricate.

`1.. The method of detecting an uncooperative optical system including a focusing
`means and a surface exhibiting some degree of reflectivity disposed substantially
`in the focal plane of said focusing means, said method comprising
`the step of directing optical energy at said optical system'whereby that portion of
`said energy incident.upon said optical system is retroreflected with an optical
`gain to thereby form a beam of retroreflected optical energy, and
`the step of detecting said retroreflected optical energy having.a radiant flux
`density in excess of a preselected value to thereby indicate the presence of said
`optical system.
`'17. Apparatus for detecting the presence of an uncooperative optical system
`including a focusing means and a surface exhibiting some degree of reflectivity
