Abstract
Different types of eye-protection filters are examined with the emphasis be ing laid on the irradiation-dependent spectral transmittance. Most of the d yes used for polycarbonate laser filters show the effect of induced transmi ttance. This may be critical with respect to eye safety because these absor ber types are frequently used in filters for protection against alexandrite laser irradiation. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
