Dazer Laser is a family of non-lethal, ocular distraction (ocular interrupter) devices, or dazzlers, which have been designed and engineered by Laser Energetics, Inc. (LEI). Products There were three products in the Dazer Laser range: Defender – a pistol-shaped device with range up to . Guardian – in flashlight or baton form, a higher power device having a range up to . Stealth – a multi-function, weapon-mounted attachment that combines optical distractor, visible pointer, infra-red (IR) pointer, IR illuminator, and white LED illuminator into a single unit. Technology Most laser dazzlers operate at a fixed divergence, causing long-range models to be unsafe at shorter distances. Dazer Laser products utilize patent-pending "Variable Range & Focus Optics" which allow the operator to adjust accordingly depending on the range of the engagement. For instance if someone is 5 meters away, the user sets the range to 5 meters and is safe to engage from 1 meter up to 5 meters away. In the event a threat is 50 meters away, the user changes the range to the 50 meter setting and now can engage the threat eye-safe from 10 meters and beyond. Other dazzling devices may have built-in safety modules that turn the device off inside of short ranges, making them effective only at long range. Dazer Lasers use a "GreenStar Laser" (US Patent and Trademark Office provisional patent application no. 61/348,312), which is a diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS), 532 nm (green), Class IIIb laser that produces maximum power of over 750 mW without having to increase the same laser's size. The GreenStar laser provides a simultaneous mix of pulse-width modulation and continuous wave (CW) operation for both day and night modes without overheating, unlike other dazzling devices that need to be operated pulsed to conserve power for cooling reasons. The mixture of pulsed and continuous light is referred to as "MEAN beam", for modulated, erratically pulsed, awareness-inhibiting, and nausea-inducing. The products have built-in security codes for controlled activation. Once the code has been input into the device, it is activated for a time period of 8, 12, or 24 hours. Upon expiration of the time clock, the device shuts off and cannot be used again until the code is re-entered. This prevents unauthorized use in the event it is lost or stolen. The Dazer Laser also operates as a high-powered, long range search-light, and is water-proof up to 20 m (2 atm). Both
