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.
Did the manufacturer put a required optical density needed at the 10,600nm wavelength? We can provide an economic option with an OD of 6+ @ 10,600nm with our 101 filter, please see here.
