I found another reference to the "British Death Ray": link
Although most information pertaining to such weapons is classified, the British Navy?s Laser Dazzle Sight (LDS) weapon is an exception. This system was employed on British naval vessels and was intended to dazzle pilots of attacking aircraft. The LDS had been commercially available and in use since the Falklands war in 1982. It was not until May 1995, when the Human Rights Watch Arms Project report was issued, identifying ten United States tactical laser weapon programs, that Great Britain stopped its development of such weapons for fear that blinding weapons would go into production in the United States. In addition, it is important to realize that as the energy and wavelength of a laser designed to destroy a sensor nears the level of energy and the wavelength capable of damaging the eyes, anti-sensor systems can also be used for anti-personnel purposes.
