    Presented at ILSC 2007

    During the last decade one of the groups with the highest number of laser injuries has been student workers. Improved laser safety training can be a significant factor in reducing laser accidents among university students. Until recently suitable laser safety training materials have not been widely available to meet the specific needs of university students working with lasers in research laboratories. T...

    Presented at ILSC 2007

    Project ORION currently underway at AWE is Building the largest laser system in the UK. This is a MOPA configuration Nd doped glass laser system for high energy density physics research. The laser comprises 10 beams of 30cm aperture delivering 5kJ in 1ns at 351nm to target and 2 beams of 60cm aperture utilising CPA to deliver IPW each at 100nm in 0.5ps pulses. The facility comprises several designated compartments in a building around 100m long and 60m width. The major hazards are g...

    Presented at ILSC 2007

    A practical approach to laser safety planning for the research laboratory must consider flexibility as a key component. Refinement in experimental design, a process of the scientific method, is inevitable. Each time the optical layout is modified, new hazards must be identified and neutralized ...

    Presented at ILSC 2007

    Recently, a number of new threshold values for retinal thermal damage became available that allow a more complete analysis of the dependence of the threshold on the retinal spot size diameter for different pulse durations. The data originate from non-human primate (NHP) models, excised retinas as well as computer models and compare well with each other. A distinctive dependence...

    Presented at ILSC 2007

    A three-dimensional thermal model is used to investigate the damage threshold for hazard assessments of lasers projecting non-uniform or non-symmetric images on the retina. The two source types considered are an array of sources and an elliptical source. In the array of sources, the spacing and size ratios of the sources are va...

    Authors:
    Hans-Dieter Reidenbach, University of Applied Sciences Cologne; Koeln Germany
    Presented at ILSC 2007

    According to the new European Directive on Artificial Optical Radiation (2006/25/EC) the employer has to determine the exposure and the assessment of risks, i.e. workers shall not be exposed above the exposure limit values, which are based on various ICNIRP guidelines. In addition, the employer shall give particular attention, when carrying out the risk assessment, to any indirect effects amongst others such as temporary blinding. Alt...

    Laser Security through Heat Conduction
    Authors:
    Erwin Heberer, Gela GmbH; Heusenstamm Germany
    Joachim Franek, ; Germany
    Presented at ILSC 2007

    deals not only with the special features of ultra short pulsed lasers but also disputes the physical basics of the security function of laser guard walls in use with high power lasers. By means of an example it is demonstrated that heat radiation is the dominating cooling effect of a laser guard wall. To confirm this, tests with a fiber laser with 4kW and thick guard walls were being made. Through a special test array the influence of heat radiation can be eliminated and the protection effect of heat conduction can be examined. The materi...
