Since the invention of the laser in 1960, the protection of human eyes and sensors against dazzle and damage by laser radiation is a hot research topic. As long as the parameters of a laser source (e.g., the wavelength) are known, adequate laser safety can be ensured by utilizing conventional laser protection filters. This is typically the case in cooperative environments like a laboratory. A very different situation prevails in military defence or civil security. There, the parameters of a threatening laser are usually unknown. Here, we present an overview of the research on laser protection at the Fraunhofer IOSB comprising measures against laser damaging and laser dazzling.
