Laser Hazard Analysis Software (LHAZ) Version 5

Abstract

This document describes the AFRL/RHDO produced Laser Hazard Analysis Software (LHAZ) version 5.0. LHAZ 5.0 is a Microsoft Windows desktop analysis tool. It implements the ANSI Z136.1-2007 version of the ANSI Z136.1 standard. It is a tool for trained laser safety officers to predict laser classification, maximum permissible exposures (MPE), nominal ocular hazard distances (NOHD), Optical Density (OD) requirements for laser eye protection (LEP) or laser protective materials for both direct and indirect laser exposures. LHAZ 5.0 is written in C# as a Plug-in to the AFRL/RHD Application Framework. The LHAZ 5.0 computational engine is the Laser Threat Modeling Components (LTMC) library. LTMC is a reusable C++ Library.
