ABOUT THE AUTHORS Dr. Nico Heussner studied electrical engineering with a focus on optical technologies at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the University of St. Andrews. During his PhD thesis at the FZI - Forschungszentrum Informatik he worked successfully on the modelling of retinal damage. Since 2015 he is responsible for ocular safety of lidar devices at Bosch including research topics which concern with modelling and measurements of thermomechanical damage to the retina. Raimund Reppich studied electrical engineering at the University Stuttgart and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). In 2016 he joined Robert Bosch GmbH, Stuttgart, Germany as a Software Developer. In his work he is involved in the eye safety evaluation of complex laser products and aims to establish a more standardized and algorithmic evaluation and application of the norm IEC 60825-1. Dr. Annette Frederiksen joined Robert Bosch GmbH, Stuttgart, Germany, in 2008 and works in the Corporate Research and Advanced Engineering department in the group for optics and optoelectronics. She is deeply involved in eye safety evaluation of complex laser products and actively participates as an expert in the German (DKE/GK 841), European (CLC TC 76) and international (IEC TC 76) standardization committees for optical radiation safety. She is the project leader for the topic “Moving Platform” in IEC TC 76.
