Handling the SP2 YAG Laser
When handling all SP2 YAG pump lasers:
1.
The power connector is provided with a plug that shorts the input and guards against
damage due to static electric discharge. Keep this plug in place until the laser is to be
immediately connected to the power supply. Attach this shorting connector to any laser
that is removed from the power supply (Fig. 21).
2.
Keep the protective cap on the SMA fiber connector end unless the fiber end is being
cleaned or being attached to the YAG laser assembly. Immediately cap the end of any laser
fiber that is removed from the YAG laser. Typically the fiber caps are a small plastic blue cap
(Fig. 22), but others can be used.
