Wouldn't wearing polarized sunglasses just about completely eliminate the problem of lasers aimed at pilots eyes? The polarization should completely stop the laser light from coming through the glasses. Using an LED laser pointer and a pair of polarized glasses I tested your idea. There is attenuation of the beam that is dependent on the orientation of the pointer. So, the attenuation depends on how the person on the other end is holding the pointer. |

If the aircraft windscreen were silvered so that it would be reflective perhaps it would help reduce the laser's effect. But these methods are going to reduce the pilot's visual acuity at night. |
