激光器在军事上的应用,尤其是激光测距仪和目标指示仪的应用越来越广。激光的波束很窄,能量集中,而且又是半隐蔽性的,对进攻的一方很有利。由于战场上来自激光的威胁越来越多,对激光报警接收机(LWR)的需求便日渐增加,这也反映了军用电光学迅速发展的一个方面。 这里说的激光器是指用作武器配套系统的能量较低的器件,其作用类似火控雷达。因此,如果一旦发现被激光照射,这就是警告你进攻武器(例如炮弹、炸弹或导弹等)可能不久就要到来。星球大战里直接用作武器的强激光器件能量极高,不属本文讨论的范围。需要采用LWR的军用平台有固定翼和 The military applications of lasers, especially laser range finders and target indicators, are becoming more widely used. The laser beam is very narrow, energy concentrated, but also semi-concealed, on the offensive side is very favorable. The increasing demand for laser warning receivers (LWRs) due to the increasing threat from lasers on the battlefield also reflects one aspect of the rapid development of military electro-optics. The laser here refers to the lower energy device used as an ancillary system to the weapon, which acts like a fire-control radar. So, if it is spotted of laser light, that is to warn you that an offensive weapon (such as a shell, bomb or missiles, etc.) may soon arrive. Strong laser devices used directly as weapons in Star Wars are highly energetic and outside the scope of this article. Military platforms that require LWR have fixed wings and
