Introducing the Industry's first Web-based Laser Safety Hazard Analysis System. This innovative system provides a reliable way to easily double-check laser safety calculations. The Evaluator is based on the ANSI Z136.1 American National Standard for Safe Use of Lasers and will perform repeated calculations of maximum permissible exposure (MPE), optical density (OD), nominal ocular hazard distance (NOHD), nominal hazard zone (NHZ), and laser hazard classification.

Both web and desktop formats of The Evaluator offer users an easy and seamless experience, assisting Laser Safety Officers (LSOs) of all skill levels in completing necessary safety calculations. Both versions allow effortless switching of laser settings between continuous wave (CW), single pulse, or repetitively pulsed lasers, as well as the ability to adjust the beam profile (circular, elliptical, or rectangular). 

Now companies have the flexibility to choose the format that best meets their specific needs.

Specially designed for users with minimal experience, the Basic package provides essential and fundamental laser hazard calculations in an easy and simple format. The user-friendly navigation makes calculating eye hazards, wavelength, pulse width, and other important calculations easier for novice users.

Medical facilities, small colleges, education institutions, and other organizations with basic laser equipment and applications would benefit greatly from this affordable and practical laser safety hazard software package.

Features of the Basic package include:

  • Wavelength
  • Energy/Power
  • Pulse Width
  • Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF)
  • Circular Profile
  • Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) Eye
  • Minimum Optical Density (OD)
  • Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance (NOHD)
  • Classification
  • Eye Experiments

Our most popular subscription level, the single-user Intermediate package provides the best solution for industrial applications and organizations where laser safety calculations are needed for skin and eye hazards. We recommend the Intermediate level for industrial manufacturing facilities, job shops, auto industry, and organizations that process metals.

When upgrading to Intermediate from the Basic package, the additional features include elliptical, rectangular, and tophat profiles, focused beams, classification, exposure time, MPE skin, reflections, laser barriers, and reports.

Features of the Intermediate package include:

  • All Basic Features, plus...
  • MPE Skin
  • Intrabeam NHZ (Skin)
  • Elliptical, Rectangular, and TopHat Profiles
  • Focused Beams
  • Exposure Time
  • Skin Experiments
  • Reports

Perfect for the professional Laser Safety Officer (LSO), the Advanced edition provides more comprehensive and detailed features for performing sophisticated laser calculations. It is a must-have for experienced and highly skilled LSOs working in research facilities, government, military, and advanced laboratories.

Professional-level LSOs will appreciate this edition's more advanced features including source size, laser database, range, aided viewing, atmospheric attenuation, limiting aperture, Optical Density (OD) at Range, and graphs.

Features of the Advanced include:

  • All Basic & Intermediate Features, plus...
  • Range
  • Aided Viewing
  • Atmospheric Attenuation
  • Limiting Aperture
  • OD at Range
  • NHZ Diffuse Reflections
  • NHZ Specular Reflections
  • Laser Barriers
  • Laser Database
  • Source Size

Unlike the web-based system, the Desktop edition is delivered via digital download (link to the installer is provided after purchase), allowing the user to install The Evaluator on a local computer.

Similar to the web-based version, the Desktop Evaluator performs several calculations based on the ANSI Z136.1 American National Standard for Safe Use of Lasers, including maximum permissible exposure (MPE), optical density (OD), nominal ocular hazard distance (NOHD), nominal hazard zone (NHZ), and laser hazard classification.

System Requirements:

  • Microsoft Windows 10/11
  • Adobe PDF (Acrobat or Viewer)

You can easily upgrade or downgrade to any subscription level at any time — making it a flexible and scalable solution for dynamic organizations.
