A biosensor for detectiing UV radiation based on bacterial proteins is described. These attracted my attention because of their potential applications in both military and civilian sectors. The Russian ship-building industry has a special program that will deploy LVSs on ships and submersible vehicles.
Japan is also interested in installing the underwater television onto their submersibles.
The camera is synchronised with the laser's pulses. The undisputed advantage of this method is that vision is not distorted by moving particles or bubbles. A few units were installed on tractors working in oil fields, where during the winter, snowstorms make it hard to see one's own hand at arms length. The device is rugged, and can work in extreme temperatures. The control is accomplished by means of curvature radius change as the control voltage applied to the piesoelectric understructure.
