Note 1: Maximum CW output power is defined as the highest possible optical power
that the source can produce at its output connector. Refer to specification
sheet for actual operating power
Note 2: Maximum permissible CW output power is the highest optical power that is
permitted within the appropriate laser class. Refer to specification sheet for
actual operating power
In the USA, laser / LED sources specified by this data sheet are
classified as Class 1 and 2 according to 21 CFR 1040.10 (1995).
Internationally, the same laser sources are classified as Class 1 and
2 according to IEC 60825-1 (2001).
WARNING!
Optical power levels in fiber optic systems can cause permanent eye
injury and damage to eyesight.
Never look into the end of an optical cable or connector, which might
be attached to an active source.
Do not enable a laser when there is no fiber attached to the optical
output connector.
Optical magnifying instruments (eg microscope) increase eye
hazard.
Disconnect the source before using an optical magnifier.
The laser module has a built-in safety circuitry which will disable the
optical output in the case of a fault condition, however, this cannot be
guaranteed. An equipment assurance program is recommended to
check for safe laser operation.
