Advanced Laser Personnel Safety System at Jefferson Lab
Conference

OSTI ID:1996411
Jefferson Lab operates a versatile user facility for a broadband tunable free-electron laser. The facility has the capability of using both the high power FEL as well as both low (class 3b) and high power (class 4) conventional lasers. We have developed a user-friendly laser protection system that allows operation with many different lasers at many different wavelengths in a safe but convenient manner. This presentation describes the laser facility, some of the unique laser hazards in it, and how the hazards are ameliorated. Some new systems for operating in environments with the potential for multiple laser wavelengths will also be introduced. * This work was supported by U.S. DOE Contract No. DE-AC05-84-ER40150, the Office of Naval Research, and the Joint Technology Office.
