Help with Laser Protective Eyewear specifications:

Protection

	Primary Wavelength		Primary wavelength is the first wavelength interval (lowest to highest order, unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer), associated with a specific optical density (O.D.), of the functional (non-alignment) laser as measured in nanometers.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Transmission (V.L., %)		Optical transmission property of the light medium material, expressed as a percentage.

Laser Technology

	Your choices are...
	Alexandrite		Synthetic alexandrite is used as an active or gain medium within a laser.
	Argon		Argon lasers are a type of ion laser using a noble gas as the active or gain medium.
	CO2		Carbon dioxide lasers are a type of ion laser using a noble gas as the active or gain medium.
	Diode		Diode lasers are a type of ion laser using a noble gas as the active or gain medium.
	Dye		Dye lasers are a type of laser using an organic dye as the active or gain medium.
	Er:YAG		Er:YAG lasers are solid state, and use erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet for the active or gain medium.
	Erbium		Erbium lasers contain optical grade silica-glass fibers, doped with erbium, for the active or gain medium.
	Excimer		Excimer lasers, sometimes called "exciplex", are a type of ultraviolet laser that typically uses a combination of an inert gas and a reactive gas for the active or gain medium.
	GaAs		Gallium arsenide lasers use GaAs as the active or gain medium (a semiconductor material) for a near infrared, light emitting diode.
	HeCad		Helium cadmium lasers are a type of metal-vapor laser often used in printing and typesetting applications (for example, paper currency printing), and for scientific research.
	HeNe		Helium neon lasers are a type of gas laser where a mixture of helium and neon gases is used as the active or gain medium.
	Holmium		Holmium lasers are a type of solid state laser using holmium as the active ion in the active or gain medium.
	Krypton		Krypton lasers are a type of gas laser using krypton as the active ion in the active or gain medium.
	KTP		KTP is a laser technology, used in medical applications, in which the working beam is generated when a neodymium:YAG laser is directed through a Potassium Titanyl Phosphate ("KTP") frequency doubling crystal, to produce a resulting beam in the green visible spectrum (520-570 nanometers). An example use is in human endoscopy procedures.
	Nd:YAG		Neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet is a crystal used as a lasing medium for solid state lasers.
	Near IR		A near infrared (NIR) laser is a laser with an output wavelength in the range of 800 - 1,500 nanometers. Applications of NIR lasers include forensic analysis of polymers and other materials, and applied spectroscopy.
	Ruby		Ruby lasers are a type of solid state laser using synthetic ruby as the active or gain medium.
	Ti:Sapphire		Titanium-sapphire lasers are a type of tunable, solid-state laser using a crystal of sapphire doped with titanium ions as the active or gain medium.
	UV		Ultraviolet (UV) lasers have applications in industry (laser engraving and photolithography), medicine (dermatology and keratectomy), free-air secure communications and computing (optical storage). They can be made by applying frequency conversion to lower-frequency lasers, or from Ce:LiSAF crystals (cerium doped with lithium strontium aluminum fluoride), a process developed in the 1990s at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

Type

	Type
	Your choices are...
	Spectacles		Glasses are frames bearing lenses worn in front of the eyes for vision correction. Frames are commonly made from metal or plastic, and lenses from glass or a plastic like polycarbonate.
	Goggles		Goggles are a form of protective eyewear that usually enclose or protect the eye socket area to prevent particulates, water, or chemicals from coming into contact with the eyes. They are often worn when using power tools such as drills or chainsaws, to prevent flying debris from damaging the eyes.
	Over Glasses		Over glasses are devices designed to attach to eyewear directly in front-of (or behind) the primary optical media. This protects both eyes, and provides additional eye protection related to dangerous light-emitting sources.
	Side Shields / Wraparound		Side shields / wraparound glasses or spectacles are a type of eyewear that include peripheral devices that either attach to or are integrated into (via factory molding) the primary, forward-facing eyewear, and provide protection at the side of the eye sockets, closing off entry points for flying debris, liquids, or harmful light.
	Specialty / Other		Other head-protection type.

Industry

	Your choices are...
	Aerospace		Aerospace manufacturing is a high technology industry that produces "aircraft, guided missiles, space vehicles, aircraft engines, propulsion units, and related parts," according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Web site. Most of the industry is geared toward governmental work. For each original equipment manufacturer (OEM), the US government has assigned a CAGE code. These codes help to identify each manufacturer, repair facilities, and other critical after market vendors in the aerospace industry.
	Automotive / Vehicle Manufacturing		The automotive industry is the industry involved in the design, development, manufacture, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles.
	Building and Construction		In the fields of architecture and civil engineering, construction is a process that consists of the building or assembling of infrastructure.
