      Chapter 1. Introduction       Chapter 1. Introduction The EQ-77X Laser-Driven Light Source (LDLS®) is a broadband lamp system for use in a wide variety of applications.  The lamp produces high brightness, broadband light from DUV wavelengths through visible and beyond. The output is very stable, and has a long lifetime before any service is required. A simple control interface ensures ease of use.  ...

      Chapter 2. Safety and Compliance       Chapter 2. Safety and Compliance 2.1 General Precautions The output beam from the EQ-77X should be blocked when not in use with an electronic shutter or other appropriate beam blocking device. Due to the possibility of generating ozone with some models of EQ-77X when ambient oxygen is exposed to short wavelength light, the beam should always be enclosed in an appropriate beam pipe, tube, or enclosed space.
