Equipment Safety
Back Reflection Sensitivity
Laser light reflected directly back into the laser head can cause instabilities in laser performance, instantaneous
damage to the laser diodes and a dramatic decrease in product lifetime. Cobolt 06-MLD lasers with a wavelength
greater than 600 nm are particularly sensitive, exercise extreme caution. If additional filters are installed make sure
that the corresponding anti-reflection coating is used to prevent back reflections into the laser head(s).
Electrostatic discharge
Always install the laser system to a properly grounded power outlet. Integrated lasers contain a laser diode which is
sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Fiber Care
It is important to always make sure the fiber end-facet is clean before turning any of the lasers on and before
connecting the fiber connector in physical contact with another connector. Failure to do so may lead to irreparable
damage of the fiber end-face. Do not clean the fiber when the laser is on. We recommend using appropriate
equipment for fiber cleaning and inspection.
