Helium-Neon Laser Associated with Laserscope.
Abstract
An optical radiation special study of the Laserscope was performed on the Laserscope during August 1981. It was determined that the 2.5 mW unit posed a hazard to the unprotected eye within 10 m even for momentary viewing (0.25 s). The 0.5 mW units did not present this hazard, assuming the output does not exceed 1 mW (no 0.5 mW units were available for measurement). Intrabeam viewing of the 2.5 mW unit should not be permitted within 135 m for lengthy time periods. Intrabeam viewing with optical instruments should not be permitted within 150 m. (Author)
