Calculation of Hazard Distances for Scanning, Repetitively Pulsed Laser Systems

Abstract

This report details a methodology of evaluating the eye hazards due to scanning, repetitively pulsed laser radar systems. A computer model developed for carrying out such calculations is described in detail, and applied to an experimental laser radar system currently being developed in DSTO.
