Aviation industry worldwide faced a tremendous challenge in increasing the laser attacks on aircraft. Such laser interference incidents have rapidly increased in numbers due to the recent ease of access to powerful, cheap, and portable lasers over the internet. Laser illuminations in aviation pose serious safety and security risks with significant implications to both air passengers and flight crew. The laser illumination risks create a new regulatory and policy need that can further stretch the existing limited resources and budgets to deal with this serious concern. Recently, Lamda Guard developed metaAIR, a dielectric (non-metallic) optical metamaterial filter which has been scientifically engineered to provide laser protection. It has been created from polymer materials using nano-patterned designs which are engineered to interact with incoming light, to block and deflecting it while offering transparency and superior angle performance. However, the current metaAIR prototypes suffers from the glare effect. Here, we are proposing an nanofabricated absorbing porous layer on metaAiR surfaces to mitigate the glare effects based on Glancing Angle Deposition (GLAD) technique.

全球航空业在增加对飞机的激光攻击方面面临着巨大的挑战。由于最近在互联网上获得强大，廉价和便携式激光器的途径，这种激光干扰事件的数量迅速增加。航空中的激光照明构成了严重的安全和安全风险，对空中乘客和飞行人员都有重大影响。激光照明风险创造了新的监管和政策需求，可以进一步扩大现有的有限资源和预算，以应对这种严重的关注。最近，Lamda Guard开发了Metaair，这是一种介电（非金属）光学超材料过滤器，该滤波器经过科学设计以提供激光保护。它是使用纳米图案设计的聚合物材料创建的，这些设计经过精心设计，可与传入光相互作用，以阻止和偏转，同时提供透明度和出色的角度性能。但是，当前的元原型具有眩光效应。在这里，我们提出了元仪表面上的纳米制动吸收层，以根据瞥见角度沉积（高兴）技术来减轻眩光效应。
