Read carefully before using QCL
For safe and effective use of a QCL, carefully read the documents that came with the purchased goods.
Also, read carefully to the end of manuals and instructions, and observe the local law regulations about using lasers.
Warning
!
This catalog is not a guarantee of product perfection. When the products are used in an instrument which may cause bodily
harm or damage properties, it is dangerous to operate the instrument unless proper safety measures are taken against possi-
ble product defects.
Caution
!
GAbsolute maximum ratings
Absolute maximum ratings listed in the specification sheet and/or test sheet are limiting values that must not be exceeded
even momentarily. Using this product under conditions where any one of the maximum ratings is exceeded may cause seri-
ous and irreparable damage to the products.
Values in absolute maximum ratings for forward current and forward voltage differ in each product, so always check the val-
ues listed in the test sheet that comes with each product and make sure that these values are not exceeded.
GLaser driver power supply
Current surges and current fluctuations may impair performance of the laser device. Do not apply reverse current and re-
verse voltage to the QCL.
GHeat dissipation
This product uses a Peltier element to control temperature of the laser device, so the Joule heat generated in this product
must be dissipated. If operated with poor heat dissipation, the device temperature may soon exceed the absolute maximum
rating for the operating case temperature listed in specification sheet. Make sure that a proper heatsink is installed on the
product. Poor heat dissipation may lead to excessive heating during operation and cause device deterioration or open-cir-
cuit faults even if the Peltier current is within the maximum rating. Heat dissipation on the laser side may not be sufficient
when supplying electrical current to the Peltier element in heating mode, and cause failures or affect reliability. Carefully
check these points before actual operation.
