Alignment Eyewear, the LSO's Role
Authors:
Ken Barat, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab; Berkeley CA USA
Presented at ILSC 2009
There is no direct mention of alignment eyewear in the present Z136.1 Safe Use of Laser-2007 document. The use of alignment eyewear is known by the majority of LSOs for the visualization of visible beams. Especially when one considers the alternative of removing ones eyewear to see the beam. Remote viewing is the superior and safer alternative, but is still not as common as lifting ones eyewear to see the beam. The point of this presentation is by allowing the use of alignment eyewer the LSO is allowing the user to use personnel protective equipment (PPE) that does not lo...$28.00

Recent years, LED technology as well as its applications grow very fast, which deserve more attention to the hazard of LED radiation. The spectral integrated radiances are important parameters in hazard analysis of LED radiation. However, traditional spectral luminance meters are not able to be used to determine spectral integrated radiances in accordance with IEC 62471. Therefore, a novel photobiological safety measurement...$28.00

Presented at ILSC 2009
For more than three decades, the technique of "audience scanning" has been routinely used at laser light shows outside of the United States. Visible beams from CW lasers are projected towards viewers, to put them inside cones, fans and other moving light shapes set to music. Most commonly, accessible irradiance levels have not been measured by operators; instead they have been set by eye to look "OK". Since MPE-level irradiance at the audience is somewhat less bright than de...$28.00

Projectors of varying technologies have been in use for several decades in home and office environments. These include 35mm slide projectors, overhead projectors, and more recently digital projectors. The trend in digital projectors has been increasing luminance from smaller products. This has been made possible by the advent of new or improved light sources and projection technologies. Results of a com...$28.00

Calculating the Laser Safety Hazard for Scanning Systems
Authors:
Clinton T. Meneely, Goodrich Sensor Systems; Burnsville MN USA
Presented at ILSC 2009
Recently, many optical systems are employing lasers (indoor and outdoor) to sense objects at considerable ranges over large fields of regard. These can involve powerful wide field-of-view flash LIDAR systems or less powerful, very narrow divergence lasers scanned over the field of regard. Despite the fact that Z136.1 does not directly address scanning laser systems directly (except in a few appendices), there are ways to apply the random periodic exposure standards to various types of scanned systems to determine eye safety and hazard ranges. Th...$28.00

The use of lasers for medical and dental applications has grown significantly over the past two decades. Unfortunately, when any type of thermal or ablative instrument, such as laser energy, is applied to human tissue an unwanted by-product is produced which is commonly known as surgical smoke. Through many educational efforts and a number of published standards, it is well documented that surgical laser plume must be evacuated and filtered to protect healthcare workers and their patients ...$28.00

Presented at ILSC 2009
The ANSI Z136 Non-Beam Hazards (NBH) Technical Subcommittee has proposed revision of the NBH section in the Z136.1 Standard for the Safe Use of Laser. Factors motivating these changes include:
a) The number of NBH have tripled in the last decade,
b) NBH tend to incur greater regulatory compliance burdens and consequences than beam hazards,
c) NBH remain the leading cause of laser related incidents,
d) N BH can extend beyond the NHZ,
e) Unlike beam hazards, NBH h...$28.00

Non-beam Hazards of the Ophthalmic Excimer Laser
Authors:
Angela Monks, Health Protection Agency; Leeds Great Britain
Presented at ILSC 2009
The excimer laser, with a gas mixture of ArF, is widely used in refractive eye surgery. Over the past decade the excimer laser has become the preferred choice for treatment; the ultraviolet laser beam at 193 nm is able to remove microscopic amounts of tissue from the cornea via a photochemical interaction, resulting in a huge improvement in results from refractive eye surgery compared with previous techniques. The use of the excimer laser for ophthalmic surgery introduces a number of hazards, many being non-beam hazards.The non-beam hazards are discuss...

Laser Safety Management in a Research Institute
Authors:
Shimon Gabay, DGS Laser in Medicine Technologies; Modi'in Israel
Presented at ILSC 2009
The laser safety management in a research institute is a complicated business, made of many topics that are supported by mutual interfaces. This paper presents our experience in Weizmann Institute of Science at Rehovot, Israel. The activity in such research institute is characterized by the following facts that require appropriate handling to keep the laser safety on a high standard level:
1.The laser labs entrance is accessible to the public, where many of them are not aware of laser hazards. - High risk for visitors.
2.The experimental set...$28.00
