Prerequisiti
Understanding of basic principles of electromagnetic theory, geometrical and wave optics.
Obiettivi formativi
The course is designed to teach the necessary knowledge and to understand the rational of laser safety. At the end of the course the students learned to classify a laser product, carry out laser risk assessment and prescribe prevention and protection measures in all work environments.
The program, articulated in lectures and practical lessons, meets the training requirements for the TSL outlined by the CEI (Italian Electrotechnical Committee) and for LPA (Laser Protection Adviser) outlined by IEC International Standards.
