The pulse width t

s). The pulse repetition frequency F is 1/1 = 1 Hz.
In this example, it is assumed that α ≤ α
min
and for a small source C

= 1. If there is no intentional
viewing, the exposure duration to be used is 10 s; during this time, the number of pulses is
N = F
t = 1 Hz × 10 s = 10
The intra-beam MPE is taken as the most restrictive calculated from the application of 13.3.
Single-pulse assessment (condition 13.3a))

Multiple-pulse assessment (condition 13.3c))
The maximum exposure duration for which requirement c) should be applied is T2 in the wavelength
range 400 nm to 1400 nm, where T2 = 10 s for α ≤ α

. Therefore, the correction factor N

The conclusion is that condition 13.3c) produces the most restrictive MPE per pulse and therefore,

for intra-beam viewing. The range equation of the previous example can be
used to calculate NOHD; however, because the mode structure of this solid-state laser is not specified,
the pulse energy should be increased by a factor 2.5.
Therefore,
NOHD =

The NOHD for the rangefinder is therefore 243 m.
