Module 1.2 Light Sources and Laser Safety

$0.00

This module addresses various non-laser light sources, such as incandescent lamps, fluorescent discharge lamps, high-intensity discharge lamps, flashlamps, arc lamps, and LEDs. It also discusses laser safety in detail, including the human eye, laser hazards, laser safety controls, maximum permissible exposure, laser safety glasses, and laser accidents. The laboratory experience at the end of the module will enhance the learner’s ability to understand the dangers associated with lasers, with small and large beam diameters, and with constant power levels.
