Visual sensitivity of the eye to infrared laser radiation

D H Sliney et al. J Opt Soc Am. 1976 Apr.

Abstract

The foveal sensitivity to several near-infrared laser wavelengths was measured. It was found that the eye could respond to radiation at wavelengths at least as far as 1064 nm. A continuous 1064 nm laser source appeared red, but a 1060 nm pulsed laser source appeared green, which suggests the presence of harmonic generation in the retina.
