こちらのレーザ保護メガネは、レーザ放射に対してANSI Z136規格に適合し、またCE認証済みです。 レンズはレーザ吸収染料を封入した硬化ポリカーボネート製*のため非常に割れにくいうえ、小さい傷もつきにくくレーザに対する保護性能に影響が生じない作りとなっております。 仕様に示す波長範囲における光学濃度(OD)ならびにLBレーティングがレンズまたはフレームに印字されていますが、これらは視野を妨げず、また恒久的に消えない方法が採られています。 各製品には、保護ケース、スリップオンタイプのネックストラップ、そしてクリーニングクロスが付いてきます。なお、ゴーグルタイプにはスリップオンタイプのネックストラップが付属しませんのでご注意ください。
当社ではレーザ保護メガネのフレームを4タイプご用意しております(詳細は「フレームタイプ」タブをご覧ください)。 ユニバーサルタイプは、度付き眼鏡の上から着用可能で、サイドとトップ部分にも周囲のレーザ放射から目を保護するシールドが付いています。 コンフォートタイプのフレームには度付きレンズを脱着できるインサートが付いています(レンズをインサートに合わせたい場合には医師にご相談ください)。またブリッジ部分は長くなっているので、鼻梁が低い方にはより快適にお使いいただけます。 スポーツタイプは顔を包むようなタイプとなっているので、視野の連続性を保ちつつ目をレーザから完全に保護します。最後に、ゴーグルタイプには度付きレンズを脱着できるインサートと調整機能付きストラップが付いており、フレームとしては最もしっかり固定できるスタイルです。
お手入れについて
使用していないときには保護ケースに入れ、温度が26.6 °Cを超えない場所で保管してください。 クリーニングには、薄めたイソプロピルアルコール(＜10%)を用いて綿棒で拭いてください。 付属のクリーニングクロスは、レンズ表面の埃を拭き取る際にご使用ください。また、超音波洗浄機または食器用洗剤と水を使用してクリーニングすることもできます。どちらの方法もレーザ安全レーティングに影響を与えません。
適切なレーザ保護メガネの選択
適切なレーザ保護メガネの選択にあたっては、光路、レーザーパラメータ、ならびに使用環境など様々な要因について現場で評価を行う必要があるため、当社では具体的な保護メガネを推奨することはできません。 ご所属先のレーザ安全管理者にご相談ください。

保護メガネにはそれぞれ保護ケースが付いています。
ユニバーサルタイプ
ユニバーサルタイプのレーザ保護メガネのフレームは、度付き眼鏡の上からでも着用できる大型サイズ(145 mm x 53 mm)となっております。 レンズと同じ材質のサイドシールドとフレームと同じ素材のトップシールドにより、周囲への視野を確保しつつ目をレーザ放射から保護します。 フレームのアーム長は調整可能で、様々なテンプルサイズに対応します。 特定の波長範囲における保護レベルを示したレーザ安全情報がレンズ上に印字されています。
LG11は、Schottガラス製でほかのユニバーサルタイプのレーザ保護メガネとは違うフレームを使用しています。サイドシールドがプラスチック製でレーザ光は通しませんが、視野は狭くなっております。 またこのレーザ保護メガネは度付き眼鏡の上から着用できない場合があります。レーザ安全情報は、左側のサイドシールドの上に印字されていて、レンズ上には印字されていません。
コンフォートタイプ
コンフォートタイプの眼鏡のフレームサイズは中程度(145 mm x 47 mm)で、サイドのシールドが周辺のレーザ放射から目を保護します。 こちらのタイプは、度付き眼鏡の上から着用することができませんが、度付きレンズを脱着できるインサートが付いています(右の写真をクリックするとご覧いただけます)。 レンズをインサートに合わせたい場合には医師にご相談ください。 フレームには長めのブリッジが付いているので、鼻梁が低い方にとってフィット感が良くなっております。 特定の波長範囲における保護レベルを示したレーザ安全情報がレンズ上(LG11Aの場合はフレーム)に印字されています。
スポーツタイプ
スポーツタイプの眼鏡フレームはコンパクト(134 mm x 48 mm)で、完全に視野を覆う設計により、サイドシールドが必要なく、広い視野をもたらします。 このフレームタイプの眼鏡は、長さやアームのジョイント部が調整できるので(右の図をクリックするとご覧いただけます)、頭の形や大きさに合わせたフィット感にカスタマイズ可能です。 スポーツタイプの眼鏡は、度付き眼鏡の上から着用できません。また度付きレンズ用インサートも付属しておりません。 特定の波長範囲における保護レベルを示したレーザ安全情報がレンズ上に印字されています。
ゴーグルタイプ
ゴーグルタイプには調整可能なストラップと目の周囲に密着するガスケットが付いており、また曇り止め用の穴が加工されています。ゴーグルの内寸は133 mm x 51 mmです。レンズの対角長は66 mmです。ゴーグルタイプには度付きレンズを脱着できるインサートが付いています(度付きレンズについては医師にご相談ください)。特定の波長範囲における保護レベルを示したレーザ安全情報がレンズ上に印字されています。
*** このガイドは、ANSI Z136やEN 207もしくはEN 208のレーザ安全規格を理解するための参考資料として用意されたものではありません。このチュートリアルはLGシリーズのレーザ保護眼鏡レンズに付けられたマークをご理解いただくための概要を説明したものです***
ANSI Z136およびEN 207規格
レーザ安全保護眼鏡には容易には消えない方法で2つの数字が印字されています: 1つは光学濃度(OD)、もう1つはLBレーティングで、いずれも特定の波長範囲に対する保護レベルを表す数字です。眼鏡にしっかりと印字されたOD値は、任意のレーザ製品が出射するレーザに対して、眼鏡がANSI Z136規格が規定するレーザ安全基準を満たすレベルであるかどうかを表しています。さらにOD値は安全保護眼鏡の透過率(T)を計算するために用いることができます。
欧州のレーザ安全保護眼鏡に関する規格であるEN 207では、保護眼鏡にCEマークとLBレーティング仕様が容易に消えない方法により表示されていることを規定しています。またこの規定は、レーザーモー ドによって10秒または100パルスの間は規定のレベルで保護特性を発揮することも要求しています。LBレーティングには3つの要素があります：波長範囲、 レーザーモード、スケールナンバです。レーザ保護安全眼鏡に刻印された波長範囲は、 nmで表記されていて、保護安全眼鏡の保護性能は波長に依存するのでこの情報は極めて重要です。レーザーモードは、レーザが放出するレーザーパルスの継続時間に基づいています。
レーザーモードの表示
| Laser Mode | Engraved Symbol | Pulse Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Continuous Wave (CW) | D | ＞0.25 s |
| Pulsed Mode | I | ＞1µs - 0.25 s |
| Giant Pulsed Mode | R | 1 ns - 1µs |
| Mode Locked | M | ＜1ns |
| 上記の情報についてはBSIの公式 EN 207規格の内容をご参照ください。 | ||
スケールナンバ(LBn)は波長範囲やレーザーモードと併せて使用していただく数字で、安全保護眼鏡が指定されたレーザに対して必要な最小限度の保護水準を満たしているかを判断するために用いられます。下の表をご参照ください。LBレーティングの一部に共通の情報が含まれていれば、表記される記号をできるだけ短くするために、複数の波長範囲、レーザーモードやスケールナンバの区切りとして＋記号が用いられます。さらに「＞」という不等号が波長範囲の前にある時、その指定範囲最小値を超える波長から指定範囲最大値を含む波長でモードやスケールナンバは有効であることを示します。例えば、眼鏡のレーティン グが 330-370 D LB2で、 ＞370-500 D LB3 であった場合、370 nmでのレーティングは D LB2で、370 nmを超えて500 nm以下の波長のレーティングはD LB3となります。
レーザ保護メガネ選択のための欧州基準
| Wavelength Range | Laser Mode | Maximum Power Density (P) or Maximum Energy Density (E) | Minimum Scale Number (Ln) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 180 - 315 nm | D | 1x10n-3 W/m2 (1x10n-7 W/cm2) | log10(P)+3 |
| I and R | 3x10n+1 J/m2 (3x10n-3 J/cm2) | log10(E/3)-1 | |
| M | 3x10n+10 W/m2 (3x10n+6 W/cm2) | log10(P)-10 | |
| ＞315 - 1400 nm | D | 1x10n+1 W/m2 (1x10n-3 W/cm2) | log10(P)-1 |
| I and R | 5x10n-3 J/m2 (5x10n-7 J/cm2) | log10(E/5)+3 | |
| M | 1.5x10n-4 J/m2 (1.5x10n-8 J/cm2) | log10(E/1.5)+4 | |
| ＞1400 - 1000000 nm | D | 1x10n+3 W/m2 (1x10n-1 W/cm2) | log10(P)-3 |
| I and R | 1x10n+2 J/m2 (1x10n-2 J/cm2) | log10(E)-2 | |
| M | 1x10n+11 W/m2 (1x10n+7 W/cm2) | log10(P)-11 | |

上記の表を使うには2つの方法があります。1つは特定のスケールナンバを定めて安全なパワー密度の最大値を計算する方法で、もう1つは特定のパワー密度を定めて安全なスケールナンバの最小値を計算する方法です。これらの計算の例を以下に示します。
例1: LG3のレーザ安全保護眼鏡に記してあるLBレーティング情報は「180-315 D LB7 + IR LB4」となっています。このLG3の眼鏡を10 µsパルスの280 nm光源に対して使用したとします。上の表を見るとE=3x10n+1 J/m2という数式が見つかります。この例ではスケールナンバがL4であることからn=4となります。結果としてLG3レーザ安全保護眼鏡がこの状況で使用されている場合は、光源のパワー密度が3x105 J/m2を超えてはならないことがわかります。
例2: CWクリプトンイオンレーザが647.1 nmのレーザを出射して、最大パワー密度が2.2x104 W/m2であるとします。上の表を利用してLn=log10(P)-1 の数式でスケールナンバを計算すると、端数切り上げ後のスケールナンバは4となります。この例では、LG4レーザ安全保護眼鏡が欧州のEN 207規格に適合していることがわかります。
アライメント等級(EN208)
レーザ保護メガネLG13(A)(B)とLG14(A)(B)は、アライメント用途向けに等級付けされています。この等級では、アライメントのために光の一部が透過すること を許容していますが、万一直接ビームにさらされた場合に、目に安全なパワーレベルまで光を減衰します。等級値はRB# で示されており、ここで#は特定の波長または波長範囲( nm)での最小光学濃度を表します。このRB値と共に、開口がØ7 mmを超える場合のレーザの最大許容パワーとエネルギが示されます。パワーは0.2 msを超えるパルスを対象としており、一方で、エネルギは1 ns～0.2 msのパルス用に規定されています。パルスレーザをお使いになる場合、補正係数N1/4を最大エネルギ定格にかける必要があります。ここでは、Nはレーザが10秒間隔で生成するパルスの数です。
例: レーザ保護メガネLG14のアライメント等級は1W2×10-4J 532 RB3です。532 nmでのメガネの光学濃度は、3～4となり、透過率0.1%～0.01%に相当します。532 nmで開口がØ7 mmより大きい場合に、 この保護メガネが対応できる最大パワーは、CWまたは0.2 msを超えるパルスにおいて1 Wで、最大エネルギは、1 ns～0.2 msのパルスで2×10-4Jです。

光ファイバの場合、ファイバ端面から出力される光は拡散するので、光密度は小さくなり、眼への損傷を与える危険性は減少します。左表ではファイバから出力される光の25.4 mm離れた地点における面積を開口数(NA：0.1～0.5)をパラメータとして表示しています。光ファイバから出力されるトータル光出力が分かれば、ファイバ端面から25.4 mm離れた地点における光密度が計算できます。この光密度の計算結果によって、ファイバ端面からどの程度離れれば安全かを知ることができます。
レーザの安全性と分類
レーザを取り扱う際には、安全な操作の実施と、安全に関わる器具や装置を適切に取扱い、使用することが重要です。 ヒトの目は損傷しやすく、レーザ光のパワーレベルが非常に低い場合でも起こります。 当社では豊富な種類の安全に関わるアクセサリをご提供しており、そのような事故や負傷のリスクの低減にお使いいただけます。 可視域から近赤外域のスペクトルでのレーザ発光ではヒトの網膜に損傷与えうるリスクは極めて高くなります。これはその帯域の光が目の角膜やレンズを透過し、レンズがレーザーエネルギを、網膜上に集束してしまうことがあるためです。

安全な作業および安全に関わるアクセサリ
- 当社では、わずかでも影響のあるレベルのレーザ光線(例：クラス 1よりも高いクラスのレーザ機器)を取り扱う場合は、ネジ回しなどの金属製の器具が偶然に光の方向を変えて再び目に入ってしまうこともあるので、レーザ保護眼鏡を必ずご使用いただくようにお勧めしております。
- 特定の波長に対応するように設計されたレーザ保護眼鏡は、装着者を想定外のレーザ反射から保護するために、レーザ使用装置の近くのわかりやすい場所に置いてください。
- レーザ保護眼鏡には、保護機能が有効な波長範囲およびその帯域での最小光学濃度が刻印されています。
- レーザ保護カーテンやレーザ安全保護用布は実験室内での高エネルギーレーザの遮光にご使用いただけます。
- 遮光用材料は、直接光と反射光の両方を実験装置の領域に封じ込めて外に逃しません。
- また当社の筺体システムは、その内部に光学セットアップを収納し、レーザ光を封じ込めて危険性を最小限に抑えます。
- ピグテール付き半導体レーザは、他のファイバに接続、もしくは他のファイバから取り外す際には、レーザ出力をOFFにしてください。パワーレベルが10 mW以上の場合には特にご注意ください。
- いかなるビーム光も、テーブルの範囲で終端させる必要があります。また、レーザ使用中には、研究室の扉は必ず閉じていなければなりません。
- レーザ光の高さは、目線の高さに設定しないでください。
- 全てのレーザビームが水平を保って直進するように、実験は光学テーブル上で行ってください。
- ビーム光路の近くで作業する人は、光を反射する不要な装飾品やアクセサリ(指輪、時計など)をはずしてください。
- レンズや他の光学装置が、入射光の一部を、前面や背面で反射する場合がありますのでご注意ください。
- あらゆる作業において、レーザは必要最小限のパワーで動作するようにご留意ください。
- アライメント作業は、可能な限りレーザの出力パワーを低減して行ってください。
- ビームパワーを抑えるためにビームシャッタやフィルタをお使いください。

- 適切なビームトラップを用い、代用品としてレーザービュワーカードを使用したりしないでください。
レーザ製品のクラス分け
レーザ製品は、目などの損傷を引き起こす可能性に基づいてクラス分けされています。 国際電気標準会議(The International Electrotechnical Commission 「IEC」)は、電気、電子工学技術関連分野の国際規格の策定及び普及を行う国際機関で、 IEC60825-1はレーザ製品の安全性を規定するIEC規格です(対応するJIS規格はJIS C 6802)。レーザ製品のクラス分けは下記の通りです:
| Class | Description | Warning Label |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | ビーム内観察用の光学機器の使用を含む、通常の条件下での使用において、安全とみなされているクラスです。 このクラスのレーザ製品は、通常の使用範囲内では、人体被害を及ぼすエネルギーレベルのレーザ光を放射することがないので、最大許容露光量(MPE)を超えることはありません。 このクラス1のレーザ機器には、レーザをシャットダウンするか、筐体等を開かない限り、作業者がレーザに露光することがないような、完全に囲われた高出力レーザも含まれます。 |  |
| 1M | クラス1Mのレーザは、安全であるが、望遠鏡や顕微鏡と併用した場合は危険な製品です。この分類に入る製品からのレーザ光は、直径の大きな光や拡散光を放射し、ビーム径を小さくするために光を集光する光学素子やイメージング用の光学素子を使わない限り、通常はMPEを超えることはありません。 しかし、光を再び集光した場合は危険性が増大する可能性があるので、このクラスの製品であっても、別の分類に移動する場合があります。 |  |
| 2 | クラス2のレーザ製品は、その出力が最大1 mWの可視域での連続放射光に限定されます。瞬目反射によって露光が0.25秒までに制限されるので、安全と判断されるクラスです。 このクラスの光は、可視域(400～700 nm)に限定されます。 |  |
| 2M | このクラスのレーザ製品のビーム光は、瞬目反射があるので、光学機器を通して見ない限り安全であると分類されています。 このクラスは、レーザ光の半径が大きい場合や拡散光にも適用されます。 |  |
| 3R | ビーム内観察を行わなければ、このクラスのレーザ製品は安全とみなされます。 このクラスでは、MPE値を超える場合がありますが、被害のリスクレベルは低いクラスです。 可視域の連続波のレーザの出力パワーは、このレベルでは5 mWまでとされています。 |  |
| 3B | クラス3Bのレーザは、直接ビームを見た場合に危険なクラスです。 ただし、拡散反射は有害ではありません。 このクラスで装置を安全に操作するには、ビームを直接見る可能性のあるときはレーザ保護眼鏡を装着する必要があります。さらに、インターロック機能付きの自動表示灯等の警報装置を設け、それらがONにならない限り、レーザがONにならないようにすることが求められます。 クラス3Bのレーザ機器には、キースイッチと安全保護装置が必要です。 |  |
| 4 | このクラスのレーザは、皮膚と目の両方に損傷を与える場合があり、これは拡散反射光でも起こりうるとみなされています。 このような被害は、ビームが間接的に当たった場合や非鏡面反射でも起こることがあり、艶消し面での反射でも発生することがあります。 このレベルのレーザ機器は細心の注意を持って扱われる必要があります。 さらに、可燃性の材質を発火させることもあるので、火災のリスクもあるレーザであるとみなされています。 クラス4のレーザには、キースイッチと安全保護装置が必要です。 |  |
| 全てのクラス2以上のレーザ機器には、上記が規定する標識以外に、この三角の警告標識が表示されていなければいけません。 |  | |

I need laser safety glasses for 532 nm light. I have looked at LG12 and LG3 that both have OD = 7+.
However I want to make sure I understood your L-rating correctly: LG12 has LB5 and LG3 has LB6 for 532 nm continous (D) light. Therefore is it correct that I can use a max laser powerdensity of 10^6 W/m^2 with LG12 and 10^7 W/m^2 with LG3?
Thanks in advance! tfrisch

we need safety glasses for Ti:Sapphire amplifier alignment. We would need about OD 3-4 around 532 nm for attenuating the pump beam and OD>7 above 750 nm to block the fs pulses. It would be similar to LG12 with the difference that the OD is lower around 532 nm. I have not found such a product in your list; can you offer this version too? Thanks tfrisch

It is very disappointing that it is not available in a style that works over regular glasses. Please pressure your supplier to offer this in a better form factor for folks with prescription glasses! besembeson
(posted 2016-04-22 08:36:10.0) Response from Bweh at Thorlabs USA: The LG11 has a different frame style because at this time, it is difficult to cut the glass that is used to the shapes that fit the universal frames. However, according to our tests, these actually fit over most prescription glasses, but it is not as comfortable as the other universal frames that we have. We will look into improving the frame design to be more in line with the standard universal frames. sebastian.jaeger

(posted 2014-08-12 15:32:35.537) We are interested in blocking both UV and IR light over 800 nm. We use a setup with 8 strong halogen lights (generally Paulmann, 35 W and 12V at 2900 K color temperature or also IR halogen lights).
In terms of spectral filtering LG2 seems to do the job but could it be that the visibility is too reduced? Normally we work on a dark room with a setup where 6 to 8 halogen lights are placed on a small frame. We need to see enough to manipulate the samples under the lights and look at a computer screen.
Would the LG2(19%VLT) be suitable for the task or would you rather advice the LG11 (75%VLT) or another type?

Determine the power density, wavelength and mode you will be working with. Assuming you are working with a 2mm beam diameter at 100mW, 473nm and 593nm, both CW, these fall under the same calculation class. Please see the “Specs Tutorial” for a description of this calculation. Assuming the parameters above, you would be looking for a minimum L rating of D(CW laser) LB4 for both 473nm and 593nm. Since these wavelengths fall right in the middle of visible, it may be more appropriate to choose two goggles to keep your visible light transmission higher if not using the sources simultaneously. Please contact us and consult with your laser safety officer if you have any questions. mv780

The LG2 glasses should provide enough eye protection for your experiment. They are specified with an optical density value of 3 in the range of 820-1720 nm, which corresponds to a transmission value of 0.1%. So, at 20 dBm, or 100 mW, only a small fraction of light will be transmitted through the glasses (100 uW), which constitutes no harm for the eye. Keep in mind that this is assuming a focused or collimated laser; however, if we factor in the divergence from the tip of the fiber, the actual incident light onto the glasses will be much less. nirmal.virdee

Actually, any of our LG series laser safety glasses would work well for eye protection in the 180-320 nm range. If you refer to the OD Specs chart, you will see that the optical density of all of the LG glasses falls in the 5 to 7 OD value in the 190 to ~400 nm range. This translates into transmission values of 0.001% to 0.00001% (you can visit the Specs Tutorial tab for more info). If 180-320 nm is the only wavelength of concern, then we would suggest using our LG6 glasses, which have an OD of 7 in the range of 190-398 nm.

The glasses should be replaced and the laboratory procedures reviewed so that future incidents do not occur. Cracked lenses or frames also warrant replacement of the glasses. Surface scratches on the lenses do not affect the function of the laser glasses as long as they do not impede vision. Thank you for your questions and for your interest in our product. reza1729
(posted 2008-06-24 00:31:48.0) I am very interested in your product. However, I have some important questions that I would like to have answered as soon as possible before I purchase the laser safety goggles. First, the site says that goggles should be stored in a room of less than 80 degrees F. How strict is the requirement? My lab is about that temperature, sometimes higher, sometimes lower. Would it be a better to store the frames in my home which is cooler and carry the goggles in my backpack on the days I need them? Could the goggles be stored in a refrigerator? Second, I was wondering if the orange lenses protect from direct exposure from an argon laser? I know this depends on the power of the laser, but what powers are protected. Third, I noticed the goggles dont have complete peripheral protection. Are there any precautions I need to take about laser beams from the side? Fourth, what sort damage should I keep an eye for on the goggle? I understand that goggles should be periodically checked for damages, but I was wondering if certain damages I should be looking for.

On the UV ones you might want to word it safety Goggles and not googles. technicalmarketing
(posted 2007-09-27 14:34:45.0) In response to your question, VTL stands for visible transmitted light. It is often times abbreviated VLT (Visible Light Transmission). This value is a measure of how well you can see with these glasses on because it tells you how much visible light gets through them. In other words, if you purchase a pair with VLT of 12%, you might want to take them off before going down stairs and such because you will not be able to see well. We have updated the webpage to not use an abbreviation. acable

(posted 2007-09-26 16:44:33.0) Based on several requests, we have moved the optical density versus wavelength plots to the subgroups for each product. We hope that you find this information useful. acable
(posted 2007-09-11 17:21:15.0) Clicking through to the plots seems silly when there is all that space available next to each photograph of the glasses. The current plots that are combined with the photo are basically useless, why not just enlarge these plots and place them along side the photos. The little bit of text that is provided could be a sub-header under the title to each plot. TechnicalMarketing
(posted 2007-09-11 15:04:31.0) Thank you for your presentation comments. It is always a pleasure to get feedback from our customers. With regards to the two comments posted, larger OD versus wavelength plots can be found under the Drawings & Documents Tab if you click on the specs sheet. I hope that you find these useful. As for the dual-use question, it would be difficult to provide general information that would be beneficial to a wide group since the correct saftety goggles are highly application specific. If you do have questions about which eyewear would be best suited to your individual application, I would recommend that you speak to our applications engineers by calling 1-973-300-3000. russ.ferriday
(posted 2007-08-19 20:19:05.0) It would be helpful to provide recommendations based on performance/compliance for common spectra (e.g. 532nm, 635nm) and indicate which are the preferred choice for a dual-use, e.g., for 532 & 635. cjohns
(posted 2007-08-16 11:56:25.0) It would be helpful if you offer a "Graphs" tab which shows a more detailed plot of OD vs Wavelength for easy reference and quick comparison between models. |
