Laser
What is a laser?
Laser stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
A laser is a device that projects a highly concentrated narrow beam of light which is amplified to great brightness using stimulated radiation.
LASERS ARE DANGEROUS - DAMAGE TO YOUR OR THE AUDIENCE’S EYE SIGHT IS A VERY REAL RISK
If you plan to use lasers
- Understand all the laws and regulations for laser operation in your area.
- Become a certified Laser Safety Officer (this is required by law in some areas). Courses are available from ILDA directly: ILDA Laser Safety Courses 10
- Make sure an emergency stop button is close to you at all times.
- Do not let anyone enter the laser projection area unless all precautions have been taken to limit the output.
- Make sure there are no reflective surfaces in the projection area that might cause the beam to reflect unintendedly.
