ABSTRACT
Objective Based on the principles of laser radiation protection, medical metroiogy and photoelectron technology, an automatic verification device and testing technology to provide verification and performance evaluation for laser protective spectacles and equipments which have the various functions in laser protection have been developed and established. Methods The current system comprises laser source, laser measuring instruments, software of computer detection and control and modules of optics and mechanics used in auxiliary equipment. By use of the verification device and the special test-recording method to be designed and studied by us, the measured data can be automatically acquired, processed, recorded, saved and printed and, furthermore, many parameters on protective performance of the measured laser protective spectacles can be tested and given. Results Laser wavelength of the verification apparatus are 1 064 nm and 532 nm, response range of wavelength is from 0.4 m to 1.1 μm, measuring range of laser energy is from 10-8 J to 0.3 J, measuring range of optical density for laser protective spectacles is from 0.1 to 8.0, stability is 0.21%, measuring uncertainty is 5%(k=2). Conclusion The automatic verification device is steady and reliable. The achieved performance indexes accord with the requirement of national standard on laser protection.
