4.6 NOHD Safety Distance
The NOHD (Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance) is the distance at which the irradiance is equal
to the exposure limit value of the cornea of the eye. The NOHD identifies the danger area
within which there is a risk of damage to the health of the eye if you look directly into the
laser beam without protection.
The NOHD is calculated according to EN 60825-1 and taking into account the permitted
power fluctuations (+/- 20%) according to EN 60601-2-22 using the following equation:
𝑁𝑂𝐻𝐷 =
√
4𝑃
𝑀𝑃𝐸 ∗ 𝜋 – 𝐷𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝐵𝑒𝑎𝑚 𝐵𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑙𝑒
𝐵𝑒𝑎𝑚 𝐷𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒
For the FOX 514 variants the following NOHD applies:
Wavelength λ:
514 nm
NOHD:
0.78 m
Beam divergence α
(full angle)
:
25.4°
Permitted Maximum Radiation:
1.9*10³ Jm
