    Presented at ILSC 2011

    The use of LEDs in consumer products, including toys, is rapidly increasing. The LEDs bring a visual appeal to the toy. Choosing the appropriate LED is important to avoid the risk of injury to the child, especially with the development of more efficient, higher power LEDs. This has led to the need of an easy to follow assessment that may be adopted by toy manufacturers when evaluating the suitability of an LED. A suggested assessmen...

    For many years, our research at the Optical Radiation Branch of the Air Force Research Laboratory has been oriented toward developing a greater understanding of the transient effects of visible laser exposures on human vision. Although laser warning signs instruct people to avoid eye exposure and to not stare into the beam, for our studies we often require human subj...

    Presented at ILSC 2011

    The Orion high intensity laser facility for plasma physics research at AWE in the UK is nearing completion. The commissioning of the first two of its 12 beams, one long pulse (max. 5kJ at 351nm in 1ns) and one short pulse (max. 1PW at 1054nm in 0.5ps) is scheduled for completion by December 2010. Commissioning of the first two beams has continued concurrently with final installation of the other beams and this has required innovative laser safety solutions and rigorous work contro...

    Along with laser technology, particularly laser application technology gradually plays a leading role in the field of industrial field, high power laser products and their safety requirements attracted more and more attention. In fact, in laser welding, cutting, surface treatment and other industrial applications, most concern was focused on laser powe...

    Presented at ILSC 2011

    A variety of exposure limit tests with different materials and lasers led to non reproducible results, which can lead to false interpretation concerning the exposure limit and overestimated lifetime predictions of laser guards. Thus equal and comparable conditions for repeated test must be ensured to maintain the integrit...
