1、Specular Reflection

There are often numerous secondary laser beams produced at

various angles in the output port of the laser. These divergent beams are

produced when the primary beam of laser reflects off a smooth surface,

and they are called specular reflections. Although these secondary beams

may be less powerful than the total power emitted from the primary beam,

the intensity may be great enough to cause damage to the eyes and skin

as well as surface of materials.

WARNING:

◎ You must exercise caution to avoid/minimize specular reflections as

these laser radiations are invisible!

2、Safety Instructions of Accessories

Optical accessories relevant to the laser, such as light-sensitive
