Abstract
An analysis is made of the eye hazard posed by laser radars and the
methods for reducing this hazard. The particular situation analyzed
here is that of a person at target range being exposed to a single
pulse by accidentally looking directly into a laser beam. Curves are
presented which show where the safe and hazardous radar regions occur.
These curves show that by following a philosophy of transmitting no
greater intensity than is necessary to achieve a given level of radar
performance, the eye hazard can be considerably reduced.
