Two-Photon Reradiation from Laser Protective Materials.

Abstract

Several dyes used in laser protective devices were tested for reradiation in the 400 to 1000 nm wavelength region during and after irradiation by 17 nsec 1063 nm pulses of .23 + or - .08 J. A statistical analysis led to the conclusion that, in both back and forward scattering directions, less than 2 million photons were reemitted in this wavelength region (with 99% confidence limit). These may thus be incorporated into a plastic host for use as eye protection and may be considered safe up to a radiation level which will damage the plastic host material itself. (Author)
