Researchers in Bangalore have got protection protection from laser radiation in extracts extracted from teak leaves. It can help protect the natural and biodegradable extracts eyes and optical devices from laser.

Teak leaves have the ability to absorb laser radiation.
Highlights
- Anthocyanin present in teak leaves has the ability to absorb laser lights.
- This extract can become an environmentally friendly option of synthetic and expensive substances.
- These leaves can become a durable solution for laser safety goggles and equipment.
According to toi report Teak is also called Saugan. Teak leaves are thrown as agricultural waste, but they contain natural colors called anthocyanin, which are the cause of their red-brown. These elements can prove to be effective in the protection of the eyes. Researchers found that colors extracted from teak leaves have non-linier optical properties, of which reverse saturable absorption (RSA) is the most special. This means that as the intensity of the laser increases, these colors start absorbing more lights, which can protect them from the harmful rays of the laser.
The process of making synthetic substances is complex and harmful to the environment, while the extract of teak leaves is a natural, non -toxic and affordable option. According to this research, teak -based color can be used in devices such as optical limits, which protect the sensors and human eyes from sudden laser shaking. Later, more research will be done to increase the stability and commercial use of this color. This discovery can play an important role in the development of green optical technology.
