LASER GLARE PROTECTION

Lasers are an increasingly common and dangerous threat facing pilots, military personnel, law enforcement and personnel in the transportation industry. metaAIR is a completely unique optical filter that can provide laser glare protection.

metaAIR® – Laser Glare Protection

metaAIR is a dielectric (non-metallic) optical metamaterial filter which has been scientifically engineered to provide laser protection. metaAIR has been created from polymer materials using nano-patterned designs which are engineered to interact with incoming light, to block and deflect it. It can be applied to windscreens, windows, protective eyewear, retractable visors and optical sensors, and to almost any clear glass or plastic surface.

Laser strikes on commercial aircraft have risen over the years and laser pointers are increasing in power and decreasing in price. Lasers can distract and even harm pilots during critical phases of flight and can cause temporary visual impairment. In 2015 there were over 10,000 laser incidents reported to the FAA, the UK Civil Aviation Authority, and Transport Canada.

CLARITY

metaAIR can be used at both night or day. It has a high visual light transmittance.
