From: The use of laser in garment manufacturing: an overview
Laser type | Wavelengths (nm) | Impacts on eye | Impacts on skin |
|---|---|---|---|
Excimer laser | 100–315 | Cornea ignition | Sunburn, accelerated aging |
He–Ne laser | 315–380 | Lens opacity | Increased pigmentation |
Nd-YAG laser | 380–780 | Violation of the retina | Darkening of pigment, burns |
High performance diode laser | 780–1400 | Lens opacity, violation of the retina | Burns |
CO2 laser | 1400–3000 | Lens opacity, burning of the cornea | Burns |
CO2 laser | 3000–10,000 | Burning of the cornea | Burns |
