The commercial applications of a successful limiter exceed government applications by a wide margin. Limiter eyewear will replace all current laser-protective eyewear since it will handle all laser wavelengths rather than merely selected wavelengths, and a single unit will replace an entire set of specific goggles. The market will include industrial and academic research laboratories and industrial operations as well as NASA and military laboratories and military combat equipment. We will pursue commercialization vigorously in Phase III in strategic partnership with one or more commercial eyewear manufacturers such as American Optical or Glendale.
