Abstract
Abstract AN OPTICAL DEVICE FOR PROTECTING A VIEWER FROM THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF HIGH INTENSITY OPTICAL RADIATION. THIS RESULT IS ACCOMPLISHED BY BONDING A LIGHT TRANSMISSIVE OR REFLECTIVE FILM TO A ROUGHENED SUBSTRATE. THE FILM IS SLIGHTLY LIGHT ABSORPTIVE, BUT IN NO WAY INTEREFERES WITH THE OPTICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEVICE USED. WHEN HIGH INTENSITY OPTICAL RADIATION IMPINGES ON THE DEVICE, THE THERMAL EFFECTS OF THE LIGHT ABSORBED IN THE FILM DESTROY THE FILM AND EXPOSE THE ROUGHENED SUBSTRATE WHICH WILL MATERIALLY DISRUPT THE TRANSMISSION OR REFLECTION OF LIGHT.
