2.3.4 Shorting Connectors Figure 5: Laser Diode Shorting Connector The male shorting connector must be connected directly to the laser head if the control cable is removed. The female shorting connector must be connected to the control cable if the control cable is removed from the laser controller.
Appropriate laser goggles provide an additional level of safety and may be ordered from Melles Griot. The 85 GCJ modules can be switched off remotely so that safety interlock systems can be implemented.
Mount both the laser head and controller securely to a flat heat sink. Do not use thermal grease or compound between the laser and the heatsink or the controller and the heatsink. Melles Griot recommends the use of Q- Pad II from the Bergquist Company ( ) for a http://www.bergquist.com/...

4.4 Turning the Laser On Note that completion of this step will result in laser emission. All appropriate safety measures must be in place before continuing. Turn on the pump laser diode by pulling pin 2 high on controller connector J1 ( high = laser diode on, low = laser diode off).
No fuses are present in either the laser head or laser controller. 6.7 Safety Labeling Melles Griot applies laser aperture, laser hazard and laser emissions labels as a convenience to our customers. However, full compliance with all applicable regulatory labeling requirements is ultimately the responsibility of the purchaser of this laser system as these devices are solely intended for incorporation into customer equipment and instrumentation.
