Abstract: Methods and apparatus for detecting a modulating element of an object in a scene are described in which an element in a scene is illuminated with a modulated light source. A signal is obtained from an optical detector based on light received from the illuminated element. An intermediate frequency signal is detected from the signal obtained from the optical detector, the intermediate frequency signal being related to a frequency of the modulated light source and a frequency of modulation of the element within the scene. The modulating element is detected based on the intermediate frequency signal.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for detecting a modulating element of an object are described in which signal values are obtained from one or more optical detectors. A determination is made if there is a time dependent variation in the obtained signal values at the one or more optical detector and a modulating element is detected based on the determination.

Abstract: An optical filter includes a first layer including a first notch filter arranged to attenuate electromagnetic radiation having a first wavelength λ1 incident normally thereupon. The optical filter includes a second layer including a second notch filter arranged to attenuate electromagnetic radiation having a second wavelength λ2 incident normally thereupon. The first wavelength λ1 and the second wavelength λ2 are different. The second layer is stacked upon the first layer. In use, the first notch filter attenuates the electromagnetic radiation having a predetermined wavelength λ incident thereupon at a first angle of incidence θ1 and the second notch filter attenuates the electromagnetic radiation having the predetermined wavelength λ incident thereupon at a second angle of incidence θ2, wherein the first angle of incidence θ1 and the second angle of incidence θ2 are different.

Abstract: A coating material (10) for coating an article is described. The coating material (10) comprises a surface (100) having an optical interference coating (110) thereon. The coating material (10) improves protection of the article from incident electromagnetic radiation having a predetermined wavelength. The coating material (10) may retroreflect at least some of the incident electromagnetic radiation, for example towards a source (e.g. a laser) thereof. An article having a coating provided by such a coating material and methods of providing such coating materials are also described.

Abstract: An optical device 10 comprises an objective lens 11 defining a focal plane FP and an eyepiece 12 spaced apart therefrom, defining an optical axis OA therethrough. The optical device 10 comprises an optical member 13 having a first planar face 14, arranged on the optical axis OA proximal the focal plane FP, wherein the first planar face 14 is arranged to oppose the objective lens 11. The optical device 10 comprises a filter assembly 100 comprising a first notch filter 101 arranged to attenuate transmission of electromagnetic radiation having a first wavelength λ1, wherein the first notch filter 101 is arranged in front of the optical member 13. The first notch filter 101 is arranged at a first oblique angle θ1 to the optical axis OA whereby, in use, incident electromagnetic radiation having a predetermined wavelength λi propagating along the optical axis is reflected by the first notch filter 101 away therefrom, wherein the first wavelength λ1 and the predetermined wavelength λi are different. In this way, retro-reflection of the incident electromagnetic radiation towards a source thereof is reduced, thereby better detection of the optical device 10.
