LaserSafe 6.1 is a must for organisations making frequent use of Lasers, Fibre Optics or LEDs and students through to professionals wishing to learn more about laser safety.  An Innovation in Laser Safety Analysis, LaserSafe PC is the programme which vastly simplifies the process of establishing the safety or otherwise of Laser situations.  It is maintained and supported by the highest authorities.  It covers all Laser situations for laboratories, industry, display and other organisations.  With nearly 30 years of tried and proven experience behind it, this is software you can depend on.

The latest features are a the ability to calculate multiple wavelengths, simultaneously.  This allows calculations for systems emitting a variety of wavelengths from simple harmonic generators to supercontinuum lasers.  Additionally, there is the inclusion of all the latest Standard releases.
 
With Assistant - the graphical inline interactive aid section, you have help every step of the way!  Assistant is an in-depth guide to every aspect of the calculations - from entry through to detailed explanations of the results, including the mathematics involved in deriving them and full definitions of terms.  Assistant's simple but accurate and concise graphics help in the visualisation of complex concepts.
