The following are design requirements or recommendations for high powered laser installations:
(1) The laser installation shall be provided with safety interlocks constructed so that unauthorized or transient individuals are denied access to the installation while the laser power supply is charged and capable of firing.
(2) An alarm system including a muted sound, flashing light (visible through laser safety eyewear) and a countdown is advisable once the capacitor banks begin to charge.
(3) Walls and ceiling shall be painted with light diffusing non-gloss paint, preferably black near the target area, and a light color elsewhere to increase the ambient illumination. Where practical and possible, it is recommended that the color of paint be chosen complimentary to the color of the laser radiation.
(4) Lasers, such as solid state ruby pulsed devices, with power outputs in the megawatt and gigawatt range should be operated by remote control firing with viewing through protective shields or by television. For lower powered lasers, consideration should be given to providing protection commensurate with the risk. An alternative is to enclose the laser and beam within a light tight box.
