Abstract

A protection device for a laser system having at least one active laser and having at least one beam guide. Eye safety and/or protection for an exposed person is achieved using at least one additional laser as a warning laser which, operating in a visible spectral range, is used shortly before the active laser is used, and which, can cause at least one person to close his or her eyes and/or change his or her viewing direction away from the receptor point of the active laser beam on a target.
