This International Standard defines basic terms,
symbols and units of measurement for the field of
laser technology in order to unify the terminology and
to arrive at clear definitions and reproducible tests
of beam parameters and laser-oriented product
properties.
NOTE The laser hierarchical vocabulary laid down in this
International Standard differs from that given in
IEC 60825-1. ISO and IEC have discussed this difference
and agree that it reflects the different purposes for which
the two standards serve. For more details see informative
Annex A.
