In telecommunications and data transmission, laser sources in the near infrared range are predominantly used. The beams are not visible to the human eye but can still damage eyesight.
Laser safety goggles protect users’ eyes from the dangerous laser radiation emitted at wavelengths of 850 nm, 1310 nm, and 1550 nm, which are commonly used in telecommunications, when handling laser equipment. However, even with safety goggles, the technician must be able to distinguish between the colors of the optical fibers that are commonly used in telecommunications applications. With special telecom laser safety goggles, it is possible to do both.
Whether the use of laser safety goggles is necessary depends on various factors. If you are unsure about the factors, we will be happy to advise you. Please use the form below for inquiries.
