Selecting the correct laser safety glasses depends on the specific laser system you’re using—its wavelength, power, and application.
Here’s a quick guide:
-
CO₂ Lasers (10,600 nm): Require OD 7+ protection in the far-infrared range.
-
Nd:YAG Lasers (1064 nm): Need high OD protection at near-infrared wavelengths.
-
Diode Lasers (810 nm, 980 nm): Require protection in the 800–1100 nm range.
-
Alexandrite Lasers (755 nm): Often used in medical and aesthetic applications and need specialised coverage.
Each of these lasers operates at a different wavelength and poses unique risks to your eyes. Choosing glasses with the correct Optical Density (OD) and wavelength coverage is critical for safety and compliance.
