What level optical density laser safety glasses should I wear when playing around with my 150mW laser pointer?

It is a green 532nm laser with a divergence of 1.2mRad


Your laser safety glasses should have an optical density or OD of between 3 and 4. If the optical density is more than four, visibility will be too low and you’ll have trouble pointing or aiming your laser pointer. If optical density is lower, the laser safety glasses will not provide enough protection at higher power levels.

What is OD and how does it relate to laser safety glasses?

These laser safety glasses use that OD http://www.dragonlasers.com/catalog/Lase r-Safety-Glasses-price0-p-1-c-296.html


OD stands for optical density and it is a measure of the ability of laser safety glasses or goggles to block light at a certain wavelength. An OD of 3 or more is adequate for protection from lasers with powers of up to 2 watts.

No you will not. You can see on this website that the optical density (OD) of the laser safety glasses or goggles is at least 3. At that level you will only be able to see the beam point.

No. These laser safety glasses are only designed to protect you from accidental exposure not deliberate exposure. The protective dyes will break down after several seconds exposure to high power laser beams and will no longer offer you protection.

1 Should I wear laser safety glasses when I use my Viper 95mW green laser pointer?

Whether or not you should wear safety glasses depends on what you are doing with the laser. Some applications such as astronomy do not require laser safety glasses and would be impossible with them. Other applications such as bouncing a beam off mirrors or using optics would require laser safety glasses.

    For Julie, my best friend, world meant black without her spectacles. The poor myopic girl became the butt of social ridicules because of these thick glasses of hers. At twenty five she used to look like forty years old because of her glasses. Yes, she tried contact lenses once, but she wasn’t comfortable with them and the glasses were the only bridge between her and the world, until the summer of 2000, when she underwent laser eye surgery.
