Laser head
The laser head contains pump diode, laser cavity, beam shaping optics and thermoelectric coolers (TEC) for
temperature control of the cavity and pump diode. The laser head contains an optical feed-back loop which ensures
long-term power stability of the emitted visual beam. The laser head features a manual mechanical shutter as well as
a laser hazard label and a laser classification label. The laser head gets electrical power and control signals from the
Controller via a 26-pin HD Sub-D cable. All versions covered in this manual are available with all CDRH and OEM
controller configurations. See section 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 for available power levels.
