With the rapid development of laser welding and the increasing popularity of laser welding, laser radiation protection is also a part that cannot be ignored. In addition to the knowledge of laser radiation, the operator must also have laser protective glasses. Today I will introduce to you the classification of laser protective glasses on the market.
Laser protective glasses can protect against lasers and strong light in specific bands in all directions, preventing laser damage to the eyes.
There are several types of laser protective glasses
Laser-absorbing protective glasses add a special wavelength absorber to the base material PMMA or P.C, which can absorb one or several specific wavelengths of laser light, while allowing light of other wavelengths to pass through, so as to achieve laser radiation protection. Absorbent goggles only protect against a small portion of the visible and near-infrared spectrum.
The advantages are: strong resistance to laser shock, high attenuation rate of laser, not afraid of surface wear, even if there are scratches, it will not affect the safety protection of laser;
The disadvantage is that it is easy to damage itself due to the absorption of laser energy, and the visible light transmittance is not high, which affects observation.
reflective laser protective goggles are coated with a layer of multilayer dielectric film on the substrate, which selectively reflects lasers of specific wavelengths and allows most of the lasers of other adjacent wavelengths in the visible light region to pass through. Most of the protective glasses on the market are reflective laser protective glasses.
The advantages are: because it is a reflective laser, it can withstand stronger laser light than absorbing protective glasses, with high visible light transmittance, high laser attenuation rate, and light reaction time less than 10-9s;
The disadvantage is that the effect of multi-layer coating on laser reflection varies with the laser incident angle. If the requirements for laser protection are very high, the required coating will be thicker, which has a great influence on the light transmittance of the glass. In addition, the thicker the electroplated dielectric layer, the easier it is to fall off, and it is difficult to observe with the naked eye after falling off, which is very dangerous.
composite laser protective glasses are coated with a layer of reflective film on the surface of the absorbent protective material.
The advantages are: it can not only absorb the laser of a certain wavelength, but also use the reflective film to reflect the laser of a specific wavelength, and has the advantages of both absorbing and reflecting laser protective glasses.
The disadvantage is that compared with the material of reflective protective glasses, the visible light transmittance is greatly reduced.
New laser protective materials are based on the principle of nonlinear optics, mainly using nonlinear optical effects such as nonlinear absorption, nonlinear refraction, nonlinear scattering and nonlinear reflection to manufacture laser protective glasses.
