INDIGENOUS DEVELOPMENT AND MANUFACTURING OF RADIATOR BLOCK USED FOR RANGING IN THE RANGE FINDER MODULE OF GUNNER SIGHT 1G46 INSTALLED ON THE T-90 TANK
The development of Radiator Blocks for military laser ranging systems involves several technical challenges including growth of high-purity Nd:YAG crystals, precision machining, optical surface finishing, and application of anti-reflective coatings.
The Radiator Block must withstand high laser energy density, thermal stress, vibration, and shock conditions encountered during armoured vehicle operations while maintaining stable laser output and beam quality.
Achieving consistent optical performance and long operational life under such conditions requires advanced material processing and optical engineering capabilities.
