Patent ID: 7427732

Claim:
A method for reciprocal targeting of a source of an incoming laser, comprising: a. determining a direction of the incoming laser by i. receiving energy from the incoming laser through a plurality of microlenses on a corresponding plurality of opto devices, wherein at least two of the plurality of opto devices are photodiodes, ii. translating each of the plurality of micro lenses to a plurality of lens positions, iii. determining the energy detected at the at least two photo diodes for each of the plurality of lens positions, and iv. determining an estimate of the direction; b. identifying an optical code in the incoming laser and determining whether the optical code is associated with at least one of a friendly party and an enemy; and c. upon determining that the incoming laser is not from the friendly party, targeting the source of the incoming laser by transmitting at least one laser toward the source of the incoming laser.
