I am worrying about the secondary reflections which go outside the
interferometer,because i can't achieve a perfect alignment of the
interferometer.The reason is that other people are working in the same
lab with me.
Some more simple and common sense measures:
-Block every beam that leaves your table, especially never let any
beams escape from your table towards the door or other directions where
people walk by. Make it a habit to terminate every beam. I always have
a number of cardboard device shaped like a T upside down for this very
purpose.
-If there are any untrained people that can enter the room (cleaning
people?) you could consider installing a code lock connected to the
interlock of the laser. If you enter with your code, the laser stays
on, but if someone enters with a key the laser switches off. (I know
from personal experience that this can be very annoying and that the
system gets circumvented the second the safety guy leaves the
building).
-If possible leave the light on: this makes your pupils smaller so less
laser light can potentially reach your retina.
HTH,
