Koheras BOOSTIK Laser Safety and Handling Information
Description
The Koheras BOOSTIK is a compact fiber amplifier module for
low-noise, narrow-linewidth Koheras seed lasers. It operates in
the 1060-1075 nm or 1545-1565 nm wavelength range.
Depending on the variant, the amplifier is designed to extend
the output power of an associated seed laser to either 200
mW or 2 W output power. The amplifier achieves this while
preserving the seed laser's ultra-low noise and narrow
linewidth optical output. BOOSTIK amplifier modules are
components of a laser system designed to be inserted into two
.

Warning:
The Koheras BOOSTIK amplifiers are rated as Class
3B and Class 4 laser devices. Before any operation is attempted,
ensure the notices within this manual and the hazard labels on the
product, are read, noted, and adhered to.
In addition, make sure to follow all safety recommendations listed
in the Koheras BOOSTIK Safety and Handling Information
document shipped with your amplifier. If in doubt, consult your
laser safety officer.
Warning:
Not installing a door interlock may expose persons to
harmful laser emissions. The responsible party must ensure that
staff is properly trained in the safe operation of a Class 4 laser.
Note:
DO NOT dispose of the packaging your amplifier was
shipped in. It is vital to keep it available for future shipping
requirements.
slots of a Koheras ACOUSTIK cabinet and coupled with
Koheras BASIK seed lasers. For slot installation, the module
includes a slot alignment pin hole to ensure the electrical
connector mates correctly. Additionally, a front panel (not
shown) can be fastened to the cabinet front face. The module
can also be implemented as a component in custom laser
systems. For these applications, NKT Photonics' SDK is
available to integrate the module with the system control
platform.
