But seriously. Goggles that block red green and blue don't exist. You wouldn't be able to see through them at all.

You could probably have some coating shop coat a pair to block the specific wavelengths your dealing with but I imagine this would cost many thousands of dollars, not be durable at all, and have little power handling capability before said coatings burned off.

Check out the OD graph on these from DragonLasers.

I am thinking of getting these for myself because I will have 405nm and 650nm lasers, and want one pair of goggles to cover it all. They dip in OD around 532 though, but still block at ~OD>1.

Well look at the graph:

OD 6 at 405nm
OD 3 at 532nm
OD 2 at 650nm

Those goggles will let most of your cyans and oranges through the most, so as long as you can still still the white dot, and the power from the red, green, and blue that reaches your eyes essentially < 5mw.

I think those particular goggles look suitable. You might wait for more members to chime in before buying them. I'm not a goggle expert.

All I know is, laser light and eyes don't mix!

or you can use a pair of these... so you can see the beam ;)

At 75mW of 650nm through the ML7 you would be looking at 0.75mW with OD2. I think they would work for your white laser.

What are the wavelengths and the optical power of the 3 lasers in your white kit?

The ML7 goggles are very reputable, they are considered one of the highest quality goggles there is. They will work great for your need. OD2 is more than enought for red unless the red module is 500mW+.

Yeah I didn't even know those goggles existed. I'm probably going to have to get a pair myself.

Actually, they do and you can see through them mostly well...everything's kinda brown. I will have to find the link again, they use glass filters and are expensive but worth it if you really work with serious lasers.

I know you only get one set of eyeballs, but $445.. ouch. I think i'll go with the ML7's for now in addition to the other pairs I already have. If I ever start dealing with multiwatt projectors, I might reconsider though. heh.

Well, OD2 is not all that bad in reality.

Considering the typical red diode laser does not exceed 300 mW in power output, these goggles would still reduce that to only 3 mW, putting the exposure result in class 3A.

Obviousy staring straight into a red laser with these glasses is not a good idea, but it would offer reasonable protection against accidental reflections and such.
