High-power lasers, explained by RP Photonics Encyclopedia; h ..
The use of high-power lasers raises important issues on laser safety: The output powers are far higher than what any eye can tolerate, so that even tiny parasitic reflections must be safely prevented from reaching an eye.. Even the use of strongly absorbing laser safety glasses may not be sufficient, as such glasses may not be able to stand such high optical intensities for more than a brief ..
