Yellow-emitting Dye lasers operating around 585 nm and 595 nm are extensively used in U.S. medical, research, and laboratory environments. These visible wavelengths pose a direct retinal hazard due to efficient ocular focusing and high beam intensity. The LG-013 laser safety glasses are designed to provide wavelength-specific attenuation for Dye laser systems while supporting integration into regulated laser safety programs.

Wavelength-Specific Attenuation Characteristics

Effective laser eye protection requires sufficient optical density across both primary and adjacent emission bands. The LG-013 delivers high-performance attenuation for Dye laser wavelengths commonly used in medical and research applications.

Performance specifications include:

• OD 7+ from 585–595 nm, addressing primary Dye laser outputs

• OD 6+ from 582–598 nm, covering wavelength tuning and system variation

• OD 5+ from 575–600 nm, extending protection across the visible yellow spectrum

This range supports consistent protection in multi-wavelength operating environments.

Ultraviolet Protection in Mixed-Source Environments

The LG-013 also provides OD 5+ protection from 190–400 nm, supporting facilities where UV radiation sources may be present. This includes fluorescence systems, UV lamps, and supporting optical equipment commonly found in medical and laboratory settings.

Visual Performance and Ergonomic Design

With 15% VLT, the LG-013 balances visibility with strong attenuation at hazardous wavelengths. The universal fit-over frame accommodates prescription eyewear, making it suitable for shared use in clinical and laboratory environments.

The robust frame construction supports repeated use in demanding professional settings.

Compliance with Laser Safety Standards

The LG-013 meets ANSI, EN207/208, CE, and AU/NZS laser safety standards. This level of certification supports use within controlled laser areas and compliance with U.S. laser safety programs.

The LG-013 laser safety glasses provide reliable eye protection for 585–595 nm Dye laser systems, with extended visible and UV coverage for mixed-source environments. Their optical performance, ergonomic design, and multi-standard compliance make them a dependable solution for U.S. professionals working with yellow Dye lasers.
