The LG11(A) Laser Safety glasses use a Schott glass substrate.*

The optical density (OD) and LB-Rating for specific wavelength ranges are indelibly printed on the lens or frame for permanent identification without blocking the field of view†. For a complete list of optical densities and LB-Ratings, please click on the row corresponding to each item # in the selection guide to the right.

Thorlabs offers laser safety glasses in up to four different frame styles (see the Frame Styles tab for details).

  • The Universal style frame* can be worn over prescription glasses and features side and top shield protection from peripheral laser radiation.
  • The Comfort style frame features detachable inserts for prescription lenses (please consult your doctor to fit lenses for the inserts) and an extended nose piece that may be more comfortable for users who have a low nose bridge.
  • The Sport style frame is designed to wrap around the user's face, providing full laser protection with a continuous field of view.
  • Finally, the Modern Goggle style comes with detachable inserts for prescription lenses and a built-in
    adjustable strap, making it the most secure of the frame styles. They have a gasket to create a seal around the customer’s eyes as well as vents to prevent fogging.

Each pair of laser safety glasses comes with a protective storage case, cleaning cloth, and adjustable neck strap. However, the Modern Goggle style does not come with the separate neck strap as the neckstrap for the Modern Goggles is built in.

Care Instructions
When not being used, the laser safety glasses should be stored in their protective case and in an area where the temperature does not exceed 80 °F (26.6 °C). The cleaning cloth included with each pair of laser safety glasses can be used for removing dust from the surface of the lens. Products used for cleaning prescription eyeglasses are safe to use with our laser safety glasses. For disinfection of the glasses, we recommend mild detergent or soap and hot water or a dilution of isopropyl alcohol (up to 70% solution). We do not recommend any highly caustic solutions. The laser safety rating will not be affected by any of the above cleaning procedures.

Picking the Appropriate Laser Safety Glasses
Since the correct choice of laser safety eyewear depends upon many local factors that cannot be evaluated remotely, including the beam path, laser parameters, and lab environment, Thorlabs cannot recommend specific eyewear for your application. We would recommend discussing your needs with your organization's laser safety officer.

*The LG11 and LG11A are made using Schott glass, and therefore use a different frame design than our other Universal style laser glasses. Fit over prescription glasses may be affected (see the Frame Styles tab for details). To ensure CE compliance, only two styles are offered. OD and LB-Rating specifications for the LG11 and LG11A are printed on the frame.

†For maxmimum protection, our laser safety glasses should not be used more than five years from the production date. All of our laser safety glasses except for the LG11 and LG11A are inscribed with a production date code on the bottom-right corner of the right lens, as can be seen here. The date code is represented as a five-digit number, with the first two digits defining the year and the last three defining the day of the year. Thorlabs will not ship glasses with less than three years of usable life remaining.

Each pair of glasses and goggles comes with a protective carrying case, cleaning cloth, and adjustable neck strap (separate neck strap not included with Modern Goggles).

Universal Style
Universal Style laser safety glasses feature a large (145 mm x 53 mm) frame that can be worn comfortably on top of prescription glasses. They are equipped with lensed side shields and solid top shields to protect the user's eyes from laser radiation while maintaining peripheral vision. The frame has adjustable arm lengths to accommodate different temple sizes. Laser safety ratings are indelibly printed on the lenses to indicate the level of protection provided for specific wavelength ranges.

The LG11 is composed of a Schott Glass substrate, and uses a different frame than other universal style laser glasses that features side shields made from solid plastic providing full laser protection but at the expense of peripheral vision. These laser glasses may not fit over prescription glasses. Laser ratings on the LG11 are indelibly printed on the left side shield, not on the lenses.

Comfort Style
Comfort Style glasses feature a medium (145 mm x 47 mm) frame with solid side shields for full protection from peripheral laser radiation. While these laser safety glasses cannot be worn over prescription glasses, each pair includes a detachable insert for prescription lenses (seen by clicking on the the image to the right). Contact your doctor to fit lenses for the inserts. These frames are equipped with an extended nosepiece that allows the glasses to sit more comfortably on the noses of users who have a low nose bridge. Laser safety ratings are indelibly printed on the lenses (LG11A laser ratings are printed on the frame) to indicate the level of protection provided for specific wavelength ranges.

Sport Style
The Sport Style glasses have a compact (134 mm x 48 mm) frame designed for full laser safety coverage without the need for side shields and provide the user with a wide field of view. Glasses with this frame style have arms that feature adjustable lengths and an adjustable joint (seen by clicking on the image to the right) to customize the fit for different head shapes and sizes. These sport style glasses cannot be worn over prescription glasses and do not include inserts for prescription lenses. Laser safety ratings are indelibly printed on the lenses to indicate the level of protection provided for specific wavelength ranges.

Modern Goggle Style
The Modern Goggle Style features an adjustable strap, a gasket to create a seal around the eyes, as well as vents to prevent fogging. The interior dimensions of these laser goggles are
133 mm x 51 mm. The lenses have a diagonal length of 66 mm. Laser Safety Goggles are equipped with detachable inserts for prescription lenses (please consult your doctor to fit prescription lenses for the insert). Laser safety ratings are indelibly printed on the lenses to indicate the level of protection provided for specific wavelength ranges.

 

*** This guide is not intended as a substitute for reading and understanding the ANSI Z136 or EN 207 or EN 208 Laser Safety Standards. It is only meant to provide an introductory overview to understanding the markings on the lenses of the LG series of laser glasses. ***

ANSI Z136 and EN 207 Standards

Indelibly printed on the laser safety glasses are two sets of numbers: Optical Density (OD) and LB-Rating, which are both used to indicate the level of protection provided for specific wavelength ranges. The OD numbers indelibly printed on the laser safety glasses can be used to determine if the glasses meet the ANSI Z136 standards of laser safety protection for a given laser product. In addition, the OD can be used to calculate the transmission (T) of light through the laser safety glasses.

Optical Density Equation

The European EN 207 standard for laser safety glasses requires that the protective eyewear be labeled with the CE mark and that the LB-Rating specifications are indelibly printed on the lens. In addition, the lenses and frames must be able to provide the stated level of protection for 10 seconds or 100 pulses depending on the mode of the laser. The LB-Rating is composed of 3 components: a wavelength range, a laser mode designation, and a scale number. The wavelength range engraved on the laser safety glasses is given in nm and is extremely important since the level of protection provided by the laser safety glasses is wavelength dependent. The laser mode designation is based on the duration of laser pulse emitted by the laser.

Laser Mode Designation

Laser Mode Engraved Symbol Pulse Duration
Continuous Wave (CW) D >0.25 s
Pulsed Mode I >1 µs - 0.25 s
Giant Pulsed Mode R 1 ns - 1 µs
Mode Locked M < 1ns
Please refer to the official EN 207 standard that can be purchased from BSI.

The scale number (LBn) is intended to be used in conjunction with the wavelength range and the laser mode designation in order to determine if the laser safety glasses meets the minimum required level of protection for a given laser; see the table below. If one component of the LB-Rating is shared, a plus sign is used to separate multiple wavelength ranges or laser modes and scale numbers in order to save space. In addition, a greater than, >, sign preceding a wavelength range indicates that the mode and scale number ratings for that wavelength range are valid for wavelengths of light greater than the bottom number in the range up to and including the top number in the range. For example, if the glasses were rated as 330-370 D LB2 and >370-500 D LB3 then at 370 nm the rating would be D LB2 and for all wavelengths greater than 370 nm up to and including 500 nm would be rated at D LB3.

M 1x10n+11 W/m2 (1x10n+7 W/cm2) log10(P)-11
Please refer to the official EN 207 standard that can be purchased from BSI.

There are two ways to use the table above: start with the scale number and calculate the maximum safe power density or start with a power density and calculate the minimum safe scale number. This is demonstrated by the two examples below.

Example 1: The LG3 laser safety glasses have an LB-Rating line that reads "180-315 D LB7 + IR LB4". So if the LG3 glasses are being used with a 10 µs pulsed 280 nm light source the table above can be referenced to find that, E=3x10n+1 J/m2, where in this example the scale number is LB4 so n=4. As a result, when the LG3 laser safety glasses are being used in this situation the maximum power density of the light source should not exceed 3x105 J/m2.

Example2: A CW Krypton Ion laser lasing at 647.1 nm has a maximum power density of 2.2x104 W/m2. Using the table above, the scale number can be calculated using LBn=log10(P)-1, which results in a rounded up scale number of 4. The LG4 laser safety glasses meet the safety specifications of the European EN 207 standard for this example.

Alignment Rating (EN 208)

The LG13 and LG14 series of glasses are rated for laser alignment applications. This rating allows the lens to transmit a portion of the light for alignment purposes, while attenuating the light to eye-safe power levels in the event of accidental direct exposure to a beam. The rating is given as RB# where # is replaced by the minimum optical density at the specified wavelength or wavelength range (in nm). Along with this RB value is the maximum allowable power and energy of the laser over a Ø7 mm aperture. Power is given for pulses greater than 0.2 ms, while energy is specified for pulses from 1 ns to 0.2 ms. When using a pulsed laser, a correction factor of N1/4 must be multiplied by the maximum energy rating, replacing N with the number of pulses the laser produces in a 10 s interval.

Example: The LG14 laser safety glasses have an alignment rating of 1 W 2 x 10-4 J 532 RB3. At 532 nm, the glasses will have an optical density between 3 and 4, correlating to transmission between 0.1% and 0.01%. The maximum power/energy over a Ø7 mm aperture that these glasses can be used with at 532 nm is 1 W for CW or pulses greater than 0.2 ms, and 2 x 10-4 J for pulses from 1 ns to 0.2 ms.

Please refer to the official EN 208 standard that can be purchased from BSI.

Note: The values in this table are rounded down to provide conservative beam areas.

When working with fiber optics, light emitted directly from the endface of a fiber is diverging. Thus, the power density is decreasing as the beam spreads and the danger of damage to the eye decreases. The table to the left lists the beam area created by light exiting a fiber for fibers with numerical apertures (NA) between 0.10 and 0.50. If you know the total power emitted from the fiber, you can calculate the power density at 25.4 mm (1") from the fiber tip. This power density will allow you to determine the safe fiber-tip viewing distances.

Laser Safety and Classification

Safe practices and proper usage of safety equipment should be taken into consideration when operating lasers. The eye is susceptible to injury, even from very low levels of laser light. Thorlabs offers a range of laser safety accessories that can be used to reduce the risk of accidents or injuries. Laser emission in the visible and near infrared spectral ranges has the greatest potential for retinal injury, as the cornea and lens are transparent to those wavelengths, and the lens can focus the laser energy onto the retina. 

Laser Glasses Laser Curtains Blackout Materials
Enclosure Systems Laser Viewing Cards Alignment Tools
Shutter and Controllers Laser Safety Signs

Safe Practices and Light Safety Accessories

  • Laser safety eyewear must be worn whenever working with Class 3 or 4 lasers.
  • Regardless of laser class, Thorlabs recommends the use of laser safety eyewear whenever working with laser beams with non-negligible powers, since metallic tools such as screwdrivers can accidentally redirect a beam.
  • Laser goggles designed for specific wavelengths should be clearly available near laser setups to protect the wearer from unintentional laser reflections.
  • Goggles are marked with the wavelength range over which protection is afforded and the minimum optical density within that range.
  • Laser Safety Curtains and Laser Safety Fabric shield other parts of the lab from high energy lasers.
  • Blackout Materials can prevent direct or reflected light from leaving the experimental setup area.
  • Thorlabs' Enclosure Systems can be used to contain optical setups to isolate or minimize laser hazards.
  • A fiber-pigtailed laser should always be turned off before connecting it to or disconnecting it from another fiber, especially when the laser is at power levels above 10 mW.
  • All beams should be terminated at the edge of the table, and laboratory doors should be closed whenever a laser is in use.
  • Do not place laser beams at eye level.
  • Carry out experiments on an optical table such that all laser beams travel horizontally.
  • Remove unnecessary reflective items such as reflective jewelry (e.g., rings, watches, etc.) while working near the beam path.
  • Be aware that lenses and other optical devices may reflect a portion of the incident beam from the front or rear surface.
  • Operate a laser at the minimum power necessary for any operation.
  • If possible, reduce the output power of a laser during alignment procedures.
  • Use beam shutters and filters to reduce the beam power.
  • Post appropriate warning signs or labels near laser setups or rooms.
  • Use a laser sign with a lightbox if operating Class 3R or 4 lasers (i.e., lasers requiring the use of a safety interlock).
  • Do not use Laser Viewing Cards in place of a proper Beam Trap.

 

Laser Classification

Lasers are categorized into different classes according to their ability to cause eye and other damage. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a global organization that prepares and publishes international standards for all electrical, electronic, and related technologies. The IEC document 60825-1 outlines the safety of laser products. A description of each class of laser is given below:

Class Description Warning Label
1 This class of laser is safe under all conditions of normal use, including use with optical instruments for intrabeam viewing. Lasers in this class do not emit radiation at levels that may cause injury during normal operation, and therefore the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) cannot be exceeded. Class 1 lasers can also include enclosed, high-power lasers where exposure to the radiation is not possible without opening or shutting down the laser.  Class 1
1M Class 1M lasers are safe except when used in conjunction with optical components such as telescopes and microscopes. Lasers belonging to this class emit large-diameter or divergent beams, and the MPE cannot normally be exceeded unless focusing or imaging optics are used to narrow the beam. However, if the beam is refocused, the hazard may be increased and the class may be changed accordingly.  Class 1M
2 Class 2 lasers, which are limited to 1 mW of visible continuous-wave radiation, are safe because the blink reflex will limit the exposure in the eye to 0.25 seconds. This category only applies to visible radiation (400 - 700 nm).  Class 2
2M Because of the blink reflex, this class of laser is classified as safe as long as the beam is not viewed through optical instruments. This laser class also applies to larger-diameter or diverging laser beams.  Class 2M
3R Class 3R lasers produce visible and invisible light that is hazardous under direct and specular-reflection viewing conditions. Eye injuries may occur if you directly view the beam, especially when using optical instruments. Lasers in this class are considered safe as long as they are handled with restricted beam viewing. The MPE can be exceeded with this class of laser; however, this presents a low risk level to injury. Visible, continuous-wave lasers in this class are limited to 5 mW of output power.  Class 3R
3B Class 3B lasers are hazardous to the eye if exposed directly. Diffuse reflections are usually not harmful, but may be when using higher-power Class 3B lasers. Safe handling of devices in this class includes wearing protective eyewear where direct viewing of the laser beam may occur. Lasers of this class must be equipped with a key switch and a safety interlock; moreover, laser safety signs should be used, such that the laser cannot be used without the safety light turning on. Laser products with power output near the upper range of Class 3B may also cause skin burns.  Class 3B
4 This class of laser may cause damage to the skin, and also to the eye, even from the viewing of diffuse reflections. These hazards may also apply to indirect or non-specular reflections of the beam, even from apparently matte surfaces. Great care must be taken when handling these lasers. They also represent a fire risk, because they may ignite combustible material. Class 4 lasers must be equipped with a key switch and a safety interlock.  Class 4
All class 2 lasers (and higher) must display, in addition to the corresponding sign above, this triangular warning sign.  Warning Symbol

For the LG20C, If I wore the LG20 and the LG20C, does that make a difference in terms of a higher level protection? A vague response is fine.
jpolaris  (posted 2024-10-03 07:36:01.0)
Thank you for contacting Thorlabs. The optical density (OD) of a material is additive. For example, if you put an OD = 2 optic on top of an OD = 3 optic, the resulting optical density of the two combined would be OD = 5. Transmission percentage through a material is related to optical density as OD = Log(1/T) ↔ T(%) = 10^(-OD). This means that the impact on transmission percentage is multiplicative when stacking optical elements like this. That being said, we do not recommend modifying these laser safety glasses in any way, nor do we recommend wearing more than one frame at once, as this risks making them more susceptible to light leakage.

In the spec turorial it says: In addition, the lenses and frames must be able to provide the stated level of protection for 10 seconds or 100 pulses depending on the mode of the laser.  Does this mean, that if I use a pulsed laser pulsing at 80MHz, the glasses protect me against a direct beam only for 1/80MHz*100 seconds?

Hello Sarah, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. We recommend selecting the highest possible optical density (OD) for the wavelengths you need to block. Unfortunately, we don't offer anything with an extremely high OD for your entire wavelength range. The LG12 will offer you the highest OD (3+) from our catalog for your range. Please confirm the selection with your local laser safety officer before purchase as we are not liable to make formal laser safety recommendations.

We purchased three LG11 laser safety glasses around 2014. We used them occasionally and they were mostly kept in their cases. I recently discovered that the sheath on the temples of the glasses, made of flexible polymer, became very sticky and oily. Since the filters and spectacle frames are like new, we would like to change the sheath only. Do you sell the sheath separately? If so, what would be the part number and the price of 8 sheaths.

Just want to add my voice to all the people asking for LG11 in a proper universal style frame. It has the best visible light transmission for working with NIR lasers. It is very disappointing that it is not available in a style that works over regular glasses. Please pressure your supplier to offer this in a better form factor for folks with prescription glasses!

Response from Bweh at Thorlabs USA: The LG11 has a different frame style because at this time, it is difficult to cut the glass that is used to the shapes that fit the universal frames. However, according to our tests, these actually fit over most prescription glasses, but it is not as comfortable as the other universal frames that we have. We will look into improving the frame design to be more in line with the standard universal frames.

They do NOT fit over male-sized prescription glasses (despite beind advertised to do so!) and they fall off my head every time I move around.

We are interested in blocking both UV and IR light over 800 nm. We use a setup with 8 strong halogen lights (generally Paulmann, 35 W and 12V at 2900 K color temperature or also IR halogen lights). In terms of spectral filtering LG2 seems to do the job but could it be that the visibility is too reduced? Normally we work on a dark room with a setup where 6 to 8 halogen lights are placed on a small frame. We need to see enough to manipulate the samples under the lights and look at a computer screen. Would the LG2(19%VLT) be suitable for the task or would you rather advice the LG11 (75%VLT) or another type? Thanks in advance for your time, Carolina

In most cases, we would chose based on the description I provided earlier in the feedback tab and using our “Specs Tutorial” tab. However, in your case the wavelength falls outside our specified ranges. We can supply some custom glasses and will need to discuss your laser output to provide a solution.

My lab is looking for a laser safety goggle solution for a super-continuum laser. Would it be possible to get custom glasses that block all light above a wavelength of 400nm?

Response from Jeremy at Thorlabs: We do not have any safety goggles that block all the visible light. I will get in contact with you directly to discuss about this further.

Response from Tim at Thorlabs: Thank you for contacting us. You can determine appropriate safety goggles through the European EN 207 standard. Determine the power density, wavelength and mode you will be working with. Assuming you are working with a 2mm beam diameter at 100mW, 473nm and 593nm, both CW, these fall under the same calculation class. Please see the “Specs Tutorial” for a description of this calculation. Assuming the parameters above, you would be looking for a minimum L rating of D(CW laser) LB4 for both 473nm and 593nm. Since these wavelengths fall right in the middle of visible, it may be more appropriate to choose two goggles to keep your visible light transmission higher if not using the sources simultaneously. Please contact us and consult with your laser safety officer if you have any questions.

Response from Sean at Thorlabs: Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry you had a hard time reading our plot. I've sent you an Exel file with the LG6 data directly. For the LG6, there is a steep slope between 400 and 500 nm which will make the value at 455 nm difficult to determine, but from the values on the plot, it is approximately OD = 3. We recommend discussing the choice of laser safety glasses with your laser safety officer. We will be adding downloadable data files as well as easier to read plots to our website soon.

Response from Buki at Thorlabs to utsavdeepak.dave: Thank you for participating in our feedback forum. To get more detailed information from the OD graphs, please click the "zoom" hyperlink at the bottom of the graph. The information from each graph is corroborated by the specifications table next to the graph. For your 445nm laser, we have several options that provide an OD greater than 3. For example, LG2 has an OD of 6+, while LG3 and LG10 have an OD of 7+. Please note that we provide an OD to transmission conversion table in the "Overview" section on this webpage. For a 1W laser, we highly recommend you discuss your laser safety requirements with your laser safety officer to ensure you purchase the appropriate goggles. Please contact TechSupport@thorlabs.com if you have any questions.

Hello, I wish to know which product would be most suited for a class 4 laser (blue, 445nm, 1W total optical output) such that its possible to view the laser safely. I suppose OD~3.3 is required at this wavelength. Are there any products that match up to this requirement? Some of the products listed on the website seem to match up but in those products, the OD curves are sloping at this wavelength and in the others where it is constant, the value is either too high or low. Hence please notify if there are glasses available with OD~3.3 or thereabouts @ 445 nm. Thank you.

I need a pair of safety glasses to cover 670nm 5mW, 639 30mW and 780nm 50mW CW laser diodes if that is possible with a single pair. They would be used for viewing beam during alignment, but not directly looking at beam. mainly used to protect engineers in reflected light. I'm not sure what pair to select, the LG4 covers the range but would they cut out to much light for teh low powered diode to be visable?
bdada  (posted 2012-02-02 20:16:00.0)
Response from Buki at Thorlabs: Thank you for participating in our feedback forum. The LG2, LG3, and LG10 all provide you with an OD of 6+ or better at 405nm, so it would be a matter of preference how much visible light transmission you need to ensure appropriate visibility while you wear the goggles. Please contact TechSupport@thorlabs.com if you have further questions or concerns about choosing the laser goggles best suited for your application.
murali.samiyappan  (posted 2012-01-30 22:51:39.0)
I am planning to purchase goggles for blue laser 405nm wavelength & OD 6+. Which would you recommend among LG2(19%VLT), LG3(48%VLT) and LG10(35%VLT)? Would a higher VLT percentage be considered better or otherwise?
bdada  (posted 2012-01-12 20:55:00.0)
Response from Buki at Thorlabs: An OD of 6+ is a transmission of 0.0001%. We have an OD to % transmission table on the web page that should help you determine how much light will be transmitted through the goggles. The LG2 goggles you referenced permit 19% visible light transmission. If you are concerned about seeing your 405nm beam during alignment, please consider one of our viewing cards like the VRC1. I have included a link to our viewing cards below. Please contact TechSupport@thorlabs.com if you have any questions.

bdada  (posted 2011-09-21 14:52:00.0)
Response from Buki at Thorlabs: The right type of goggles would depend highly on the environmental condition (i.e. intensity of backlighting), whether you are looking straight into the beam or looking at reflections, the object from which the beam reflects. We have contacted you to discuss different options from our selection of laser goggles, but please note that you should reveiw the specifications of the goggles with your laser safety officer to determine the appropriate one for your application.

jjurado  (posted 2011-02-28 09:37:00.0)
Response from Javier at Thorlabs to nirmal.virdee: Thank you very much for contacting us with your request. The LG2 glasses should provide enough eye protection for your experiment. They are specified with an optical density value of 3 in the range of 820-1720 nm, which corresponds to a transmission value of 0.1%. So, at 20 dBm, or 100 mW, only a small fraction of light will be transmitted through the glasses (100 uW), which constitutes no harm for the eye. Keep in mind that this is assuming a focused or collimated laser; however, if we factor in the divergence from the tip of the fiber, the actual incident light onto the glasses will be much less.
nirmal.virdee  (posted 2011-02-25 20:33:27.0)
I have a group that is working on DWDM fiber optic equipment, including EDFA amplifiers, that have output levels of about 20dBm on single mode fiber (9um core). These operate in the C-band, 1528nm - 1565nm. I need to buy safety glasses for the engineers but cannot determine which one is the right one. Can you please let me know which one is the right one and why? I was thinking LG2 but its level of protection does not seem sufficient. Maybe I am not calculating it correctly. Thanks, Nirmal.Virdee@adtran.com.

Response from Javier at Thorlabs to pillippe.rondeau: Thank you very much for submitting your feedback. The current EN 207 L ratings are still valid. We are currently in the process of re-certifying all of our laser safety glasses. Once all have been re-tested and re-certified to the LB-ratings (the test conditions changed slightly, and in some cases the current ratings will increase and the covered wavelength ranges will broaden), we will present new specifications printed on the lenses of laser glasses and and new support documentation. If you require LB-rating documentation, we may be able to provide a preliminary copy.

Response from Javier at Thorlabs to ozieseniss: Thank you very much for submitting your inquiry. Actually, any of our LG series laser safety glasses would work well for eye protection in the 180-320 nm range. If you refer to the OD Specs chart, you will see that the optical density of all of the LG glasses falls in the 5 to 7 OD value in the 190 to ~400 nm range. This translates into transmission values of 0.001% to 0.00001% (you can visit the Specs Tutorial tab for more info). If 180-320 nm is the only wavelength of concern, then we would suggest using our LG6 glasses, which have an OD of 7 in the range of 190-398 nm. Please note that we stronly recommend having your lab safety technician review the specifications of these glasses before they are used in your experiment. I will contact you directly in case you have further questions.

We can provide the LG10 glass, which will block the 1064nm and the 532nm light. To block the 694nm light, I would recommend the LG7. We may be able to offer a custom version that may cover all of your wavelengths. Please email techsupport@thorlabs.com if you are interested in a custom option. Please note that we always recommend reviewing these items with a safety officer at your company before purchasing them.

A response from Tyler at Thorlabs to reza1729: I will email you a more detailed response but here is a summary. 1) The recommended storage temperature is for long term storage of laser glasses that are not being used. Please keep your laser glasses in the lab where they are needed. 2) The L-ratings for each pair of laser glasses are listed on the web page and on the spec sheet. For information on how to interpret the rating please see the information contained on the "Specs Tutorial" tab or contact one of our application engineers. 3) The peripheral protection is good but precautions should always be taken to avoid exposure to laser beams. 4) Burn marks on the glasses indicated direct exposure to a laser beam. The glasses should be replaced and the laboratory procedures reviewed so that future incidents do not occur. Cracked lenses or frames also warrant replacement of the glasses. Surface scratches on the lenses do not affect the function of the laser glasses as long as they do not impede vision. Thank you for your questions and for your interest in our product.
reza1729  (posted 2008-06-24 00:31:48.0)
I am very interested in your product. However, I have some important questions that I would like to have answered as soon as possible before I purchase the laser safety goggles. First, the site says that goggles should be stored in a room of less than 80 degrees F. How strict is the requirement? My lab is about that temperature, sometimes higher, sometimes lower. Would it be a better to store the frames in my home which is cooler and carry the goggles in my backpack on the days I need them? Could the goggles be stored in a refrigerator? Second, I was wondering if the orange lenses protect from direct exposure from an argon laser? I know this depends on the power of the laser, but what powers are protected. Third, I noticed the goggles dont have complete peripheral protection. Are there any precautions I need to take about laser beams from the side? Fourth, what sort damage should I keep an eye for on the goggle? I understand that goggles should be periodically checked for damages, but I was wondering if certain damages I should be looking for.

technicalmarketing  (posted 2007-09-27 14:34:45.0)
In response to your question, VTL stands for visible transmitted light. It is often times abbreviated VLT (Visible Light Transmission). This value is a measure of how well you can see with these glasses on because it tells you how much visible light gets through them. In other words, if you purchase a pair with VLT of 12%, you might want to take them off before going down stairs and such because you will not be able to see well. We have updated the webpage to not use an abbreviation.

Based on several requests, we have moved the optical density versus wavelength plots to the subgroups for each product. We hope that you find this information useful.
acable  (posted 2007-09-11 17:21:15.0)
Clicking through to the plots seems silly when there is all that space available next to each photograph of the glasses. The current plots that are combined with the photo are basically useless, why not just enlarge these plots and place them along side the photos. The little bit of text that is provided could be a sub-header under the title to each plot.
TechnicalMarketing  (posted 2007-09-11 15:04:31.0)
Thank you for your presentation comments. It is always a pleasure to get feedback from our customers. With regards to the two comments posted, larger OD versus wavelength plots can be found under the Drawings & Documents Tab if you click on the specs sheet. I hope that you find these useful. As for the dual-use question, it would be difficult to provide general information that would be beneficial to a wide group since the correct saftety goggles are highly application specific. If you do have questions about which eyewear would be best suited to your individual application, I would recommend that you speak to our applications engineers by calling 1-973-300-3000.
russ.ferriday  (posted 2007-08-19 20:19:05.0)
It would be helpful to provide recommendations based on performance/compliance for common spectra (e.g. 532nm, 635nm) and indicate which are the preferred choice for a dual-use, e.g., for 532 & 635.
