Patara II and Iklwa II Service Manual
WARNING
NG recommends that a qualified service technician perform the service on
the laser to avoid any damage.
NOTE:
Laser safety goggles for 532nm must be worn during lasing process.
NOTE:
Gloves must be worn at all times during service. Service procedures must be
performed in a clean room environment when the cover is removed.
Cleanliness
The laser is a delicate piece of hardware and is susceptible to optical damage due
to contamination. WEAR GLOVES AND OPEN THE LASER IN THE
CLEANEST ENVIRONMENT AVAILABLE. Do not use any unauthorized
epoxy or glue in the laser housing. DO NOT TOUCH THE OPTICAL
SURFACES. Optical surfaces should be inspected using a 10x microscope with
15 W illumination. Optical surfaces should only be cleaned if there is visible
contamination. Only optical grade methanol or acetone should be used with lint
free lens tissue. Failure to keep a clean environment may lead to permanent
damage to optical surfaces.
After performing any procedures contained in this manual, always inspect the
laser for debris before replacing the cover.
