Abstract
Example methods and systems for controlling operation of a laser device are provided. A method may include receiving an output of a proximity sensor that is positioned adjacent to a laser device, and determining based on the output of the proximity sensor that an object is within a threshold distance to the laser device. The method may also include based on the laser device emitting laser pulses, providing, by a computing device, instructions to discontinue the emission of laser pulses by the laser device based on the object being within the threshold distance. The method may further include based on the laser device being inactive, providing, by the computing device, instructions to prevent the emission of laser pulses by the laser device based on the object being within the threshold distance.
