The most commonly produced wavelength by Nd:YAG lasers is 1064 nm, widely used across laser cutting, marking, medical surgery, and scientific applications. Due to their power, Nd:YAG lasers are typically classified as Class 4, meaning they present a serious risk of eye injury without proper protection.
To ensure safety when working with these systems, laser goggles must offer a minimum Optical Density (OD) of 7 at 1064 nm. This level of protection reduces the beam intensity by a factor of 10 million or more, helping to prevent retinal damage from both direct and scattered laser radiation.
Certified Protection with L-Ratings
All 1064 nm laser goggles used in Australia should also carry L-ratings (as per EN207 standards), which certify that the lenses can withstand a direct laser beam for 10 seconds without penetration. These ratings are essential when selecting eyewear for industrial or clinical environments using high-powered lasers.
