TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Laser hazard evaluation method for middle infrared laser systems JO - Journal of laser applications A1 - Marshall, W. J. A1 - Aldrich, R. C. A1 - Zimmerman, S. A. SP - 211 EP - 216 VL - 8 IS - 4 N2 - Hazard evaluation methods for lasers, with wavelengths greater than 1.4 microns (mostly in the middle infrared), have changed significantly in the current version of the American National Standard for the Safe Use of Lasers, ANSI Z136.1-1993. A correct evaluation involves comparing the hazard potential based on two evaluation models; one based on individual pulses and the other based on an equivalent continuous-wave exposure. An example of the hazard evaluation method within this spectral region is provided.
