Hind High Vacuum Co. Pvt. Ltd. (HHV), a vacuum science and technology company,  announced  that is has developed a unique technology for high-power Laser Safety Goggles that are made of coated glass and is used to reduce hazardous laser exposure to the eyes. This coating technology was entirely developed by HHV's dedicated team of R&D professionals out of its facility in Bengaluru , as a part of the Company's ongoing  ‘Make in India' philosophy.

HHV has developed a technology for depositing multilayer dielectric films using Electron Beam Evaporation under High Vacuum. The layer parameters are precisely designed using software to select the particular wavelength of the laser source. These Laser Safety Goggles are designed to reduce hazardous laser eye exposure to safe and permissible levels by providing an optical density that attenuates the power of laser working with, while allowing enough visible transmission for comfortable visibility in lab.

"Laser Safety Goggles are available in three varieties based on the power of laser: low- power lasers need acrylic goggles, medium-power lasers need goggles made of treated glass and operating a high-power laser needs a goggle made of coated glass. HHV has henceforth gone ahead and created Laser Safety goggles for the highest power lasers to cater to industry demand and help provide better impact on the society," said Prasanth Sakhamuri, Managing Director of HHV.

"India has more than 40 institutions generating hundreds of optical and laser engineers. This clearly shows laser science and industrial need is accelerating in India, so the need for protection to avoid accidental laser damage is ever more important. Laser Safety Goggles using HHV's technology have been certified and tested in accordance with International and European and Optical laser Standards".
