? 2004 WJM Technologies Introduction * Direct laser radiation and UV light give off by plasma have the potential to damage eye tissue. Most UV light is easily blocked by the cornea and lens while the YAG radiation gets focused onto the retina. One of the concerns with laser damage is that the retina does not appear to have any nerve cells and hence and damage is not immediately felt. ? 2004 WJM Technologies Introduction * Interaction of a laser beam with any material often produces very high temperatures in a localized spot that can lead to vaporization of material. Often the fine particulates are toxic because of their fine particle size. Fumes from plastics can also be toxic. Even though Ti is welded in a glove box, it gives off fine vapors that condense are particles and are collected by the dust collector. If the dust collector is brought out of the glove box and exposed to air, the Ti particles can spontaneously catch fire. ? 2004 WJM Technologies Introduction * ? 2004 WJM Technologies Introduction * Laser light can interact with materials in three ways: it can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted. Reflection and transmission are important properties for lenses and mirrors. For materials processing, we want the light to be absorbed as efficiently as possible. Depending on the type of material, there may be some component of reflection or transmission along with absorption of laser light. ? 2004 WJM Technologies Introduction * Most metals have high reflectivity for CO2 wavelength and are a bit better absorbers at YAG. Absorptivity for YAG can be guessed by the color of the metal. Dark grey metals such as steels are good absorbers while bright white metals such as Ag and Al are good reflectors. Copper is also a good reflector since red frequency is close to YAG wavelength of 1.064 micron. Absorption increases rapidly at UV wavelengths. ? 2004 WJM Technologies Introduction * Reflectivity increases rapidly with temperature especially once the meta
