Stanford Research Institute Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) System Mark IX Lasers 22 September 1977.

Abstract

A special study of optical radiation hazards was performed on two light detection and ranging system lasers. Both lasers were Class IV high power lasers. The protection standard for intrabeam viewing could be exceeded out to a range of 9.9 km for the ruby laser and 210 m for the CO2 laser. (Author)
