When buying laser safety glasses and goggles be sure to select the laser glasses to block or attenuate the appropriate wavelength range and optical density od.
Laser goggles od rating.
They classify glasses and goggles by its optical density od.
That is the base 0 logarithm of the attenuation factor by how much the filter reduces the beam s power.
At 532 nm the glasses will have an optical density between 3 and 4 correlating to transmission between 0 1 and 0 01.
What do optical density and wavelength mean.
This system provides a reliable way to easily double check.
To develop a comprehensive line of safety eyewear for coherent and non coherent light sources by responding to the needs of.
Laser safety eyewear noir manufactures internationally certified laser safety eyewear.
For example glasses with od 2 reduce the laser beam by a factor of 100 10 to the 2nd power.
Different lasers and corresponding wavelengths have different impact on the human eye the ansi has created standards and published them based on research.
This convenient online tool will calculate what optical density is recommended for use with a laser system of a given power.

At 532 nm the glasses will have an optical density between 3 and 4 correlating to transmission between 0 1 and 0 01.
This site is home to the evaluator lia s web based laser safety hazard analysis system.
The lb number is the scale defined in the standard en 207 2009.
The operating parameters of your laser or a certified laser safety officer lso will determine what laser safety glasses you should use.
Required eyewear must reduce the od to a power below the maximum permissible exposure.
Has emerged as a leader in the eye safety industry by maintaining a singular focus.
