Laser Head Setup
The laser head should be mounted on an optical table or equivalent strong flat surface.
There are three mounting holes provided to secure the laser. The laser should be installed
in a clean environment.
In the direction of the laser output beam, a power meter with the power scale up to 30 W
should be installed approximately 1.5 feet away from the laser. In order to protect the
power meter, a negative lens (f=-100mm) with AR coating at 532 nm should be installed
in front of the power meter as shown in Figure 2-1. If a negative lens is not available, the
power meter should be at least 2 meters away from the laser so that the beam size is
larger and the power density is below the damage threshold of the power meter.
