What does Laser stand for? Correct Answer-Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of
Radiation
What does a laser consist of? Correct Answer-A Pumping System - What imparts energy to
the atoms of the lasing medium
, LATEST: Laser Safety Officer Exam with Complete
Solutions
An Optical Cavity - Contains the medium, has mirrors and provides amplification/selection of
photons
Laser medium - Can be solid state (ND:YAG), gaseous (HeNe, CO2, Ar,Kr), dye lasers
(Rhodamine 6G), and semiconductor
What are the four modes of laser operation? Correct Answer-Continuous Wave - Beam
time over 0.25s
Single Pulsed -
Single Pulsed Q-switched - stored to increase power before release
Repetitively pulsed - Pulsed repetitively
The different time modes provide different rates at which energy is delivered
What are three characteristics of a laser beam Correct Answer-They are single wavelength
(monochromatic) that are tightly in phase with each other (coherent), and they are tightly
focused (collimated)

Solutions
What are the two main US Government agencies involved in laser regulation? Correct
Answer-OSHA and FDA
What AFI covers the Laser Radiation protection program Correct Answer-AFI 48-139, we
also use ANSI 136.1
What constitutes a class 1 laser? Correct Answer-Cannot emit laser radiation capable of
causing eye/skin injury.
A 1M is similar, but can cause damage if passed through magnifying optics.
These may be a higher class during maintenance/service
What constitutes a class 2 laser? Correct Answer-2 - Staring into beam is an eye hazard.
CW max 1mW
2M - Potentially hazardous if collecting optics are used;
CW max 500mW
These lasers are in the visible light spectrum 400-700nm
