GUIDE OVERVIEW
This product guide is intended to provide functional, operational and installation
information for the Koheras ACOUSTIK multi-channel laser system. The guide is
divided in 3 sections as follows:
•
Koheras ACOUSTIK Description - introduces the modular laser system, its
functionality, interfaces and system variants.
•
Installing the Laser – includes the details on how to install the laser system
and connect optional interfaces.
•
Operating the Laser – provides information and procedures on how to
configure and control the modular laser system and its inserted modules.
Warning: Do not operate the laser before first reading and understanding all
warnings, cautions and handling information stated within the documents:

Warning: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
BOOSTIK amplifiers
If you have inserted a 2 W BOOSTIK laser amplifier into an BASIK, you need to
ensure Class 4 laser safety labeling is affixed to the system paneling. See
“system labeling update” on page 24 .
Terminology
This guide refers to the Koheras ACOUSTIK as the “laser system” or simply
“system”. The Koheras ACOUSTIK is built specifically to contain laser modules
within its slots as components of a multi-laser system. In specific cases where a
distinction is required, this guide will use the actual module names. Further, other
NKT Photonics literature may refer to the Koheras ACOUSTIK as a frame or
cabinet. These terms are one and the same as the term “system” within this
guide.
Target audience
This guide is for technical personnel involved in the selection, planning and
deployment of lasers in laboratory and industrial settings. The guide assumes a
reasonable knowledge level of lasers, photonic principles and electrical interface
connectivity.
