Always consult your on-site Laser Safety Officer (LSO) for specific guidance. Required optical density (OD) and laser safety personal protective equipment (PPE) are determined based on worst-case scenarios and require professional judgment. All laser safety equipment provided is intended for diffused beam viewing only.
The requirements for laser safety glasses will most likely come with the laser you purchased. Each laser has different requirements - in particular a minimum optical density (OD) at particular wavelength or range of wavelengths. To determine the requirements for your particular laser:
1) See the laser manufacturer's provided information
2) Consult your Laser Safety Officer or supervisor
3) Reach out to us by live chat or call us directly at 1-888-752-7370 to speak to our in-house expert
