Fiber lasers, commonly used for marking and cutting, operate at powerful wavelengths, typically around 1064 nm and 1070 nm. The intensity of these lasers requires high-quality laser safety glasses that provide reliable protection with high optical densities. For professionals using fiber lasers, ensuring eye safety is crucial.
Why Laser Safety Glasses Are Necessary for Fiber Laser Applications
The high power levels of fiber lasers necessitate the use of laser safety glasses with an Optical Density (OD) of 6+ or 7+. These ratings ensure effective attenuation of laser light, shielding the eyes from potential damage. The LG-001 and LG-001N laser safety glasses offer an OD 7+ specifically designed for fiber laser wavelengths of 1064 nm and 1070 nm, making them an excellent choice for protection.

Key Features of LG-001 and LG-001N Laser Safety Glasses
High Optical Density and Reliable Protection
With an OD of 7+ for 1064 nm and 1070 nm wavelengths, the LG-001 and LG-001N laser safety glasses provide high-level protection suitable for intense fiber laser applications. The high OD helps in significantly reducing the laser intensity, ensuring safe operation.
Superior Visible Light Transmission (VLT)
These laser safety glasses feature a VLT of 59%, allowing excellent visibility while maintaining strong protection. This high VLT ensures that users have a clear view of their work environment without compromising safety.
Australian Standards Compliance
Both models meet Australian laser safety standards, providing confidence that these glasses offer certified protection. Each pair is marked with the relevant L ratings, wavelengths, and optical densities, ensuring easy identification and compliance.
