User Safety
Safety and Operating Considerations
The laser light emitted from this diode laser is invisible and may be harmful to the human eye.Avoid looking directly into the
diode laser, into the collimated beam along its optical axis, or directly into the fiber when the device is in operation.
CAUTION: THE USE OF OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS WITH THIS PRODUCT WILL INCREASE EYE HAZARD.
Operating the diode laser outside of its maximum ratings may cause device failure or a safety hazard. Power supplies used
with the component must be employed such that the maximum peak optical power cannot be exceeded.
CW diode lasers may be damaged by excessive drive current or switching transients.When power supplies are used,the diode
laser should be connected with the main power on and the output voltage at zero.The current should be increased slowly while
the diode laser output power and the drive current are monitored.
Device degradation accelerates with increased temperature, and therefore careful attention to minimize the case temperature
is advised. For example, life expectancy will decrease by a factor of four if the case is operated at 50°C rather than 30°C.
A proper heatsink for the diode laser on a thermal radiator will greatly enhance laser life.Firmly mount the laser on a radiator
with a thermal impedance of less than 0.5°C/W for increased reliability.
ESD PROTECTION – Electrostatic discharge is the primary cause of unexpected diode laser failure. Take extreme precaution
to prevent ESD. Use wrist straps, grounded work surfaces and rigorous antistatic techniques when handling diode lasers.
Labeling
21 CFR 1040.10 Compliance
Because of the small size of these devices, each of the labels shown is attached to the individual shipping container. They are
illustrated here to comply with 21 CFR 1040.10 as applicable under the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968.
