2.3. Laser Safety
CAUTION
A Class 2 laser is safe because the blink reflex limit the exposure to no more than 0.25 seconds. It
only applies to visible-light lasers (400–700 nm). Class-2 lasers are limited to 1mW continuous wave,
or more if the emission time is less than 0.25 seconds or if the light is not spatially coherent.
Although staring directly at the laser beam momentarily causes no known biological damage, avoid
staring at the beam as one would with any very strong light source, such as the sun. Avoid that the
laser beam hits the eye of an observer, even though reflective surfaces such as mirrors, etc.
The laser light is visible to the human eye and is emitted from the window indicated in the figure.
