Abstract:     Devices for illuminating a target with a beam of coherent energy. The device has a number of applications. In one, it is employed with a night vision system to make available additional energy which can be utilized by an image intensifier in the night vision system in prodcing a visual image of a target acquired by the night vision system.

RELATED APPLICATION
    This application is a division of application No. 489,280 filed Mar. 2, 1990 and entitled TARGET ILLUMINATORS AND SYSTEMS EMPLOYING SAME.

Family: Show 4 known family members

First Claim:
Show all 10 claims
What is claimed is:     1. The combination of a hand holdable night vision system comprising an image intensifier, a detachable grip for supporting said image intensifier, a device for illuminating a target acquired by the night vision system and thereby making available additional energy usable by the image intensifier of the night vision system to produce a visual image, and means for mounting the target illuminating device on the image intensifier, said target illuminating device comprising a casing; a diode-type laser for generating a beam of coherent energy, said laser being housed in said casing; an optical lens in said casing on the output side of said laser for projecting the beam of coherent energy; and means in said casing for operating said laser, said detachable grip including an operator activatable switch, and said combination further including connector means extending between and so electrically connecting said switch to the operating means of the target illuminating device that the laser in that device cannot be turned on unless the switch is closed.
