Scientists have created a cheap laser eye protection system

Nowadays, special glasses with electro-optical lenses are used to protect the eyes from laser radiation.

shutters. They have a significant drawback - the shutters may not work immediately, and the device runs on a battery and, as a result, requires recharging.

Researchers have created hybrid film limiters that do not require the use of electricity and can be used regardless of the wavelength of the laser.

“We managed to develop low-thresholdoptical power limiters with unique hybrid properties due to a combination of inorganic and organic structures. Essentially, these are high-speed films that are applied to optics and allow the person working with the laser to preserve their vision.”

In the future, scientists plan to introduce development at manufacturing enterprises, as well as in medical institutions for diagnosis, surgery and cosmetology.

Previouslywas reportedthat new peroskites made management cheaperlaser beams in industry. The new method allows you to control the light beam for a fraction of the cost of modern technology and will reduce the cost of production of telecommunications and medical equipment, as well as consumer optoelectronics.
