Page 6: Introduction
1. Introduction The TLS-EQ-9 Laser Driven Tunable Light Source is a compact, highly stable tunable light source. It utilizes the Energetiq EQ-9 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-EQ-9 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. -
Page 8: Laser Information
Alternating current The TLS-EQ-9 is a Class 4 Laser Product. All appropriate laser safety measures should be in place before operating the system. Consult your facility's laser safety officer. Laser protective eyewear should be worn at all times while operating the system. For further safety information, refer to ANSI Z136.1 Standard for Safe Use of Lasers, available from Laser Institute of America (www.laserinstitute.org). -
