Flash blindness occurs when an extremely bright flash is discharged, usually at night, and again vision is temporarily lost." [ 4 ] The United States Federal Aviation Administration defines flash blindness in Order JO 7400.2 as "generally, a temporary visual interference effect that persists after the source of the illumination has ceased."
The first working laser was a ruby laser made by Theodore H. "Ted" Maiman at Hughes Research Laboratories on May 16, 1960. [1] [2] Ruby lasers produce pulses of coherent visible light at a wavelength of 694.3 nm, which is a deep red color. Typical ruby laser pulse lengths are on the order of a millisecond.
Optical molasses schematic. Optical molasses (OM) is a laser cooling technique that can cool neutral atoms to as low as a few microkelvins, depending on the atomic species. An optical molasses consists of 3 pairs of counter-propagating orthogonally polarized laser beams intersecting in the region where the atoms are present.
Humans have poor night vision compared to many animals such as cats, dogs, foxes and rabbits, in part because the human eye lacks a tapetum lucidum, [1] tissue behind the retina that reflects light back through the retina thus increasing the light available to the photoreceptors.

A blue or red laser will appear much dimmer—and thus less distracting—than a green or yellow laser of equal power. [8] For example, a 10-watt continuous-wave yttrium aluminium garnet laser at 532 nanometers (green) can appear brighter to the eye than an 18-watt continuous-wave argon-ion laser that outputs 10 watts of 514 nm (green-blue ...
