Lasers (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation), which produce an intense and highly directional beam of light, are used in many teaching and research applications on RIT's campus.

Pierre Gougelman had the first glass eye factory in the United States in 1851. At first, the public thought artificial eyes actually gave their wearers new sight. If only glass eyes worked that way!

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are required for all Class 3B and Class 4 lasers and laser systems (including imbedded lasers if hazards are accessible), and must be approved by the Laser Safety ...

When using a Class 3B or Class 4 laser, potential hazards from the direct beam exist to the eye and skin. The severity of these hazards is dependent upon the wavelength and the power output of the ...

The Laser Safety program provides individuals using lasers information on laser hazards, laser-related policies and procedures and recommendations for the safe use of lasers. Much of the information ...
