Ocular Hazard of the Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) Laser.

摘要

The Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) Semiconductor laser is finding application in many devices which subject human eyes to laser irradiation. This study evaluated a single diode laboratory device to determine an ED50 level in rhesus monkeys. The RCA 7610 GaAs laser diode used in this experiment was cooled to cryogenic temperature (77K) to allow rapid pulsing, thus increasing average power enough to create retinal burns.
