Abstract

Laser blindness can reduce or disable the information acquisition ability of photoelectric imaging systems. In this paper, numerical simulation and experimental verification are both performed to systematically study the laser protection performance of the vortex phase mask. First, the imaging model and laser transmission model of the vortex wavefront coding imaging system are introduced in detail. Then, the experimental setup of the imaging system is built, and the imaging result of the imaging system is obtained. Finally, the influence of propagation distance on the maximum single-pixel receiving power and suppression ratio of the imaging system is measured experimentally. The simulation and experimental results both show that the energy suppression ratio of this method can reach more than two orders of magnitude compared with the conventional imaging system, and the probability of laser blindness can be effectively reduced.
