Laser dazzler emitting three-colour radiation

The article presents a laser dazzle generating three overlapping laser beams of different colours, and an analysis of the possibility of dazzling people with this radiation. The analysis considers the eye's photopic sensitivity and the additivity of three radiation beams. Such an analysis, to the knowledge of the authors, has been presented for the first time. The dazzling possibility is presented for four different dazzle levels and three levels of ambient luminance. It has been shown that in some conditions it is possible to damage the eye without causing the assumed dazzle effect.
