Laser Safety
Danger!
When used with a pump laser, the SolsTiS laser
system is a Class IV, high power laser whose beam, by
definition, is a safety and fire hazard. Take precautions to
prevent exposure to direct and reflected beams. Diffuse as
well as specular reflections can cause severe skin or eye
damage. This damage can be instantaneous and/or
permanent.
