Human Laser Skin Dose-Response Model, Version 2
Abstract
The increased use of lasers in outdoor, uncontrolled environments requires a generalized human dose-response model for skin injuries to achieve improved fidelity for risk assessment. Experimental data and simulation results are the basis for the developed model, which includes effects from pain to minimal visible lesions to 3rd-degree burns. The model covers the spectral range from 400 nm to 2000 nm and the temporal range from 1 s to 10 s. Construction of the model captures the essential bio-physical features contributing to human susceptibility to laser injury of the skin, including variability between humans and the effect of the angle of incidence.
