Abstract
The paper describes laser warning devices that operate in the spectral bandwidth of 0,6 to 1,1 µm. The emphasis is on angular resolution as the most important information given by such an instrument. Presented are problems whose solution is essential to an optimum horizontal resolution. A possible method is to integrate several independent receivers into one unit. Explained is the optoelectronic solution of a precise definition of the field of view of individual receivers and the circuit introduced which prevents the laser beam, reflected by the receiver unit surroundings, to affect determination of the original beam direction.
