Intent: To put up for sale a security product for use against stealthy attack
Development Thread:
Manufacturer: InnoteQ
Model: QS1204 Laser Guard
Affiliation: Open Market
Modularity: Multiple devices can be used to cover a wider area
Production: Limited (each installation carried out by InnoteQ
Material: Lasers and optical interferometer
Description: This is a system of lasers designed to create a trap that can detect intruders within an installation. A grid of lasers is set up across a corridor or room. The lasers are turned deep into the ultraviolet spectrum, outside of the visible range of most creatures. Each section of the net requires two lasers and one detector.
The simplest method of detection will be if a beam is broken, which will immediately trigger an alarm. Anything that is opaque to the UV band that moves between one of the lasers and the detector will set the alarm off. Adaptive camouflage is no use here, as whilst it can create a suitable “dot” on one side of the suit, this is not the came as creating the coherent laser beam required by the sensor.
The second method of detection is much more advanced, and suitable for the detection of Force Cloak, and full cloaking devices. Each pair of lasers is configured to arrive at the sensor in phase. An interferometer at the sensor will constantly monitor the phase difference between the two beams. Minor vibrations are accounted for by combining data from different sensors and the timescale of the change. If the path length between the two beams is change for more than a tenth of a second – for example if one beam is bent by a cloaking field even by a fraction – then the alarm will be triggered.
Each alarm system has a dipole sitting between it and the alarm system. This is physically limited to only allow information out of the sensor net, so that it cannot be remotely hacked. The sensor net will send a periodic signal every 30 seconds to the alarm system, confirming that it is still operative and no intruders have been detected.
If ingress by Force Users is likely, it is recommended that a tight mesh - whilst costly - is installed. Test and evaluation has shown that Force sensitives are able to use avoid wide nets without visual aid.
The client’s alarm system is as vulnerable as it had been designed, if connected to Holonet it may be vulnerable itself. The system is a little “jittery”. Large changes in temperature, or shifts in the foundation of the building often require the system to be reset. It is the bane of both security guards who favour a peaceful existence and criminals.
