Abstract
Eye protection equipment has been developed that makes possible safe, unobstructed viewing in environments of potential eye damage due to ir laser radiation. The viewing window consists of a 3 mm water sheet contained within Lucite panes. The water absorbs virtually all the radiation at all wavelengths in the ir>1.9 μ. A 3μ laser beam from a continuous HF laser at a power level of 15 W and a heat flux of 400 W/cm2 for 20 sec produced a depression in the beamward Lucite window pane but did not penetrate to the water.Keywords
