I wonder to what extent the average member of the public realises the danger caused by pointing l@sers at aircraft.
Obviously, they don't realize that it poses a great danger.
When should one be able to *safely* distract a pilot?
Obviously, never - and some times are worse than others based on the workload in the cockpit.

18nS pulse at 1053nM of 180J,
written by nigel
~1000 nanometers puts it in the infrared; J = Joules = Watts for the sake of this argument, so, 180 watts; 18 nanoseconds is a really, really short pulse.
Hmm. Powerful. Invisible to the human eye in both wavelength and duration.
Target illumination?
