Appropriate eye protection is a prerequisite for the safe operation of ultrashort laser systems in industrial and laboratory environments. In this paper we report on the measurement of the transmission of ion-doped phosphate glass filters for pulses having a center wavelength of 800nm, a duration of 10fs to 1.2ps and a fluence range of 0.01 to 30J/cm 2 . The measurements suggest, that the filter material preserves its protective features over the whole range. Saturation of absorption was only observed in the picosecond pulse duration range.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
