  • Page 6: Introduction

    1. Introduction The TLS-EQ-77H Laser Driven Tunable Light Source is a compact, highly stable tunable light source. It utilizes the Energetiq EQ-77 Laser Driven Light Source® as a broadband light source. A monochromator is used to select the desired output wavelength. The monochromator output is fiber coupled to the TLS- EQ77H output.

  • Page 7: Definition Of Equipment And Document Symbols And Designations

    WARNING: This unit emits ultraviolet (UV) radiation that is harmful to humans. Avoid exposure to the direct or reflected output beam. Make certain that the appropriate output beam shields and optics are in place prior to energizing the unit. All interlocks must be satisfied prior to operation; failure to do so may lead to hazardous conditions.
