When selecting laser protective goggles for use in Australia it is important to make sure that they have the correct markings on the glasses. Either on the frame or on the lenses themselves. To comply with Australian laser safety standards wavelengths and optical densities, L ratings and VLT is required to be marked on the glasses.
If you would like help selecting the most appropriate laser protective goggles for your requirements feel free to contact us at info@dioptika.com and one of our laser safety experts will be happy to help.
An example of the wavelength & optical densities are shown below.
1010-1500nm OD 7+
850-5200nm OD 3+
945-2300nm OD 5+
2300-2500nm OD 4+
2800-10600nm OD 5+
L-Ratings are written as:
850-900 DIR LB3
>900-950 + >1400-2200 DIR LB4
>950-1000 DIR LB5
>1000-1063 DIR LB6
>1063-1400 D LB6 + IRM LB7Y
2900-3200 + 10600 DI LB4
Visible Light Transmission is writtem as:
VLT: 75%
