Danger:
Never look into the end of a fiber-optic cable to confirm that light is being
emitted (or for any other reason). Most fiber-optic laser wavelengths (1300 nmand
1550nm) are invisible to the eye and cause permanent eye damage. Shorter wavelength
lasers (for example, 780 nm) are visible and can cause significant eye damage. Use only
an optical power meter to verify light output.
Danger:
Never look into the end of a fiber-optic cable on a powered device with any
type of magnifying device, such as a microscope, eye loupe, or magnifying glass. Such
activity causes a permanent burn on the retina of the eye. Optical signals cannot be
verified by looking into the fiber end.
