Best, Pilots who want to use LGP can do so -- subject of course to any rules applied by their airline or employer. Response from Jeremy at Thorlabs: We will look into carrying this as a regular stock item. BALPA (British Airline Pilots Association), for one, has found that half of all pilots experienced a laser attack in the past 12 months. 20% of proceeds from every LE Edition purchase will be donated to Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.). Green multiplex lasers as well as high-powered green laser pointers operate at or close enough to this wavelength that Argon laser safety glasses are essentially laser safety glasses for laser pointers as well. 2) The L-ratings for each pair of laser glasses are listed on the web page and on the spec sheet. Refer to the, The OD and LB-Rating Specifications are determined by the filters in the glasses, NoIR model # DI4. All beams should be terminated at the edge of the table, and laboratory doors should be closed whenever a laser is in use. Dear Support, You can see the OD as a function of wavelength for each type of google on our website. One of the members of our technical support staff will be contacting to you so we can make a goggle suggestion based on your application. The LB-Rating is composed of 3 components: a wavelength range, a laser mode designation, and a scale number. Numerous worldwide aviation officials and organizations, as well as federal agencies, have expressed heightened awareness and urgency on this front[v]. Hi, Best, Thanks. Hi Thorlabs, it would be nice to have a tool where I plug in my laser parameters and it suggests the correct glasses. In case we havent give the requested document to our Customs office we wouldnt get The frame design of other Thorlabs glasses does not have such problems; as far as I can tell LG11 is the only different frame model. My question is about if these model, LG16C, is suitable for working with a 40 W Class IV CO2 Laser engraver, which wavelength is 10640 nm. We will look into improving the frame design to be more in line with the standard universal frames. Argon laser safety glasses can help. We do not recommend any highly caustic solutions. Actual photo of Airbus A330 banking while coming in to land at Zurich airport. We used them occasionally and they were mostly kept in their cases. And the threat is not confined to the US, with incidents reportedly on the rise in many countries throughout the world. The Stingerhawk FT-2 Laser Protective Eyewear provide the needed protection for the laser wavelength of concern, the feature wrap around protection and ballistic protection required for law enforcement operations. Are you doing custom glasses for supercontinuum use. Because of the blink reflex, this class of laser is classified as safe as long as the beam is not viewed through optical instruments. The warranty information can be found on the product page (https://www.thorlabs.com/thorproduct.cfm?partnumber=LG11A). Fourth, what sort damage should I keep an eye for on the goggle? We may be able to provide a custom goggle. But, much more powerful handheld lasers are available and are technically legal as long as they are not advertised for pointing or beam-display purposes. The right type of goggles would depend highly on the environmental condition (i.e. Do you sell detachable inserts for prescription lenses separately?

These laser safety eyewear are made with polycarbonate lenses that protect against Green laser 200 to 532nm and infrared radiations of 900 to 1100nm. The information from each graph is corroborated by the specifications table next to the graph. The scale number (LBn) is intended to be used in conjunction with the wavelength range and the laser mode designation in order to determine if the laser safety glasses meets the minimum required level of protection for a given laser; see the table below. Correspondingly, laser threats are a particularly difficult danger to get a handle on because the threat is often hidden. In other words, if you purchase a pair with VLT of 12%, you might want to take them off before going down stairs and such because you will not be able to see well. THORLABS Range/optical Density(OD) 190 to 534 nm OD= 7+, Typical Wavelength = 532 nm. The "b" refers to the footnote "b" right below the spec table: "For the M rating of LB7 in the wavelength range of >950 to 1064 nm, the glasses were tested at pulses between 12 ps and 170 fs. 4. wavelength Range (nm) 750-1000, THORLABS Range/optical Density(OD) >740 to 1070 nm OD= 7+, Typical Wavelength = 760 -930 nm. Please email techsupport@thorlabs.com if you are interested in a custom option. Although we can try to obtain this data for you, that wavelength is outside the specified range. Energy per pulse: 30 mJ Do not use Laser Viewing Cards in place of a proper, The OD and LB-Rating Specifications are determined by the filters in the glasses, NoIR model # YG3. Thank you for your interest in our products. Would the LG2(19%VLT) be suitable for the task or would you rather advice the LG11 (75%VLT) or another type? eric. Thanks.

We recommend selecting the highest possible optical density (OD) for the wavelengths you need to block. Filter specifications are permanently engraved. However, if the beam is refocused, the hazard may be increased and the class may be changed accordingly. The function that defines the visible light transmission is weighted by the sensitivity of the human eye which is governed by ANSI and EU standards. 750-800 +> 1100-1120 DIR LB6 +M LB6Y Our group would like to purchase your LG11 product. I need glasses that will be appropriate for use with both Ti:sapphire and Insight lasers with wavelengths of 680-1300 nm. Hi Albert, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. Dear Sir/Lady Even relatively cheap, easily obtainable lasers can have operating ranges up to a few kilometers at night, and often emit as much as 50 to 1,000 mW of power, a factor of 10 to 200 times higher than the MPE of a safe pointer[xiii]. Do not operate lasers without correct protective equipment and training. GF-8 laser lenses allow greater VLT and color recognition, are treated with Revisions OcuMax Plus anti-fog coating, provide 100% UV-A-B-C protection, and are made from high-impact polycarbonate that exceeds military ballistic impact requirements. What is OD at 455 nm? Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. Thanks in advance! From the abstract: It describes design criteria used in the development of laser protective devices, operational considerations, training, fit, inspection, maintenance and immediate response procedures to follow after suspected laser exposure. Lasers are categorized into different classes according to their ability to cause eye and other damage. Lasers of this class must be equipped with a key switch and a safety interlock; moreover, laser safety signs should be used, such that the laser cannot be used without the safety light turning on.
