Title Laser eye protection for flight personnel.
Bibliographic information Mar. 1979, Vol.50, No.3, p.239-242. Illus. 2 ref.
Abstract Recommendations are made for protection against high powered lasers capable of producing personnel damage inside safe distances. The maximum permissible exposure to hazards of the lasers can be calculated from their energies and frequencies. Spectacles containing special lenses were evaluated in the presence or absence of sunlight. The lasers may be hazardous in the outdoors during research field tests of devices with potential military uses.
