Probability Analysis of Ocular Damage due to Laser Radiation Through the Atmosphere.
نویسنده
چکیده
A mathematical model is developed which predicts the probability of ocular damage occurring to personnel illuminated by a pulsed laser beam as a function of the appropriate optical and atmospheric parameters. The evaluation includes terms for the laser output energy and divergence, and atmospheric parameters of attenuation and scintillation. Sample computations are shown, and a safety nomograph is developed to facilitate the eye hazard analysis.

Analysis of the theory of thermal damage in biological tissues caused by Laser beam
Introduction: In laser surgery, the laser beam can evaporate and cut the tissue like a small surgical knife when the tissue temperature is heated to 100 degrees Celsius. a complete understanding of the distribution of damage in both pathologic tissue and surrounding tissue is necessary. Although the test is the most realistic solution for treating medical problems, for this rea...
متن کاملThe Importance of absorbed dose in medical applications
Radiation damage depends on energy absorption, and is approximately proportional to the absorbed energy density in the tissue. In external radiation consideration with a certain energy flux, the amount of absorbed dose in each point of the tissue depends on the type of radiation, the radiation energy, the depth of the place of receipt, and the main components of the absorber environment. The ab...

Control the laser beam hazards for class IIIB and IV laser is concluded: engineering and executive controls. In executive control, when laser beam enters to the free space, the controlled area must be identified to protect people and control the radiation exposure limits. Given the fact that the laser light of the laser is entering the environment, the identification of the area under control i...
متن کاملProbability of Hazardous Human Exposure from Space Based Lasers
Laser (lidars) used from satellites and space stations for measurement of atmospheric properties may represent an ocular hazard to people on the surface of the earth. The risk of an eye injury depends on a range of parameters such as the energy per pulse, wavelength, beam divergence, space craft orbit, atmospheric conditions, properties of telescopes and other viewing aids, and the viewing beha...
