✦ Synopsis

The potential hazards to the eye and skin from accidental exposures caused by reflected laser beams from surgical instruments has long been of concern to operating room staff members. Reflectance values for argon neodymium:YAG and C 0 2 laser wavelengths were measured from 29 reference surfaces used on surgical instruments. From these measurements, nominal hazard zones could be determined for typical reflection hazards.

The method allowing to detect in real time the laser radiation reflected from metal in course of its processing by powerful fiber ytterbium lasers is proposed. It is shown that there is a correspondence between the behavior of a reflected back signal and the oscillatory processes in a liquid bath of
