Laser Safety

Covering underlying theory and practical applications, Laser Safety provides a unique and readily-understandable review of current laser safety. The authors explain in detail the biological effects of laser radiation, particularly on the eye, and the provisions and requirements of the international laser safety standard IEC 60825-1. They elucidate the rationale for the often-complex laser emission and exposure limits given in the standard, and provide detailed guidance for using the standard to carry out quantitative laser assessments. The book also discusses practical issues of risk assessment, safety controls, eye protection, and laser safety management.
