For lasers with low power density of the beam or if it is possible to exclude a direct or reflected laser hit of the window, the installation of plastic laser safety windows in laser housings is possible, if the optical density is high enough.
For all applications requiring protection according to the EN 207, LASERVISION offers with L-protection levels certifi ed plastic laser safety windows. In all other cases plastic laser safety windows are specified and marked by their optical density only.
The biggest advantage of plastic laser safety windows is the availability of much larger sheets and of course their lower weight compared to glass filters.
