The enclosure is an important part of laser safety.

Ken Barat, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Commercial lasers are designed in protective cases that ensure that the beams emerge only from designated apertures, and the typical laser laboratory is protected by interlocked doors and outside warning lights. Between these two levels of laser safety is the enclosure, a box constructed around the laser(s) and all other components on the optical bench. It’s one of the best tools for providing laser safety. Ironically, enclosures usually are constructed for reasons other than laser safety. One explanation may be to shield the experiment from room lights, or to prevent air drafts from...Read full article
