Maximum Irradiance

Welding Laser (1,060 - 1,080 nm): Certified at 2,500 W/cm²
CO₂ Laser (9,000-11,000 nm): Certified at 10,000 W/cm²
Visible Laser (282-532 nm): Certified at 2,500 W/cm²

Sheet selection is based on the irradiance (energy density) reaching the containment material — not simply the laser's rated output power.

Learn how laser energy generally disperses; how irradiance changes with distance, reflection, and diffusion; and why laser power does not equal containment requirements

About this Barrier Material Sheet?

Certified Wide-Wavelength Protection: Tested and proven to withstand intense laser exposures at the most critical wavelengths:
Welding Laser (1,060 - 1,080 nm): Certified at 2,500 W/cm²
CO₂ Laser (9,000-11,000 nm): Certified at 10,000 W/cm²
Visible Laser (282-532 nm): Certified at 2,500 W/cm²
All tests were conducted for 100 seconds, with the barrier passing at each power density
ANSI-Compliant Safety: Meets ANSI standards for laser barriers, ensuring you meet regulatory requirements for workplace laser safety.
Flame Resistant: Manufactured from flame-resistant materials for added protection in welding environments.

LSOs (Laser Safety Officer) need to consider working environments, viewing conditions and beam delivery systems when making assessments and determining the correct laser glasses , goggles, barriers, or windows to protect against potentially hazardous laser radiation. Do not operate lasers without correct protective equipment and training. All laser safety glasses and goggles are made for indirect viewing only.

ANSI Z136.1

All our laser barrier and curtain systems meet or exceed the United States industry standard ANSI Z136, the requirements for use with the appropriate laser systems.

All laser safety barriers that we offer are manufactured at Laser Safety Industries. These laser safety barriers are made of material that meets or exceeds NFPA 701 standards and is made with ANSI FM/ material FM4950.

The laser safety barrier material used also conforms to and meets requirements for welding curtain standards specified in FM4950.

Understanding Laser Barrier Protection

Laser barriers and curtains are used to help contain reflected and scattered laser radiation around a controlled work area.

Understanding how laser energy spreads through an environment is often more important than simply knowing the laser's rated power. The amount of energy reaching the containment boundary can be dramatically different from the energy present near the laser source.

1. Laser Energy Typically Diffuses Through the Work Area

These examples illustrate how laser energy generally travels, reflects, scatters, and diffuses throughout a work area.

Multiple application examples are shown to reinforce the same concept: containment is based on the energy reaching the barrier location, not simply the laser's rated output power.

2. Irradiance Drops as Energy Spreads

As laser energy begins to diffuse, it spreads over a larger area.

As the energy spreads, irradiance (energy density) drops rapidly compared with the concentrated energy near the source.

The key consideration is the amount of laser energy reaching the containment material, not simply the laser's total rated power.

3. Barriers Contain the Controlled Area

Laser barriers and curtains are typically used to contain reflected and scattered radiation around a controlled laser area.

Their purpose is to separate the laser work area from surrounding personnel and operations.

They are generally selected based on the expected irradiance reaching the containment boundary rather than serving as a target for a continuous direct beam exposure.

Understanding how laser energy travels, reflects, diffuses, and reaches the containment boundary is often more important than the laser's rated power alone when selecting an appropriate containment system.

Laser safety products should always be selected based on a complete hazard evaluation. Final containment selection should always be reviewed by a qualified Laser Safety Officer (LSO) or laser safety professional.
