Agilent 81600B Tunable Laser Source Family, Fourth Edition 251
Ensure that your liquid soap has no abrasive properties or perfume in it.
You should also avoid normal washing-up liquid, as it can cover your device
in an iridescent film after it has been air-dried.
Some lenses and mirrors also have a special coating, which may be
sensitive to mechanical stress, or to fat and liquids. For this reason we
recommend you do not touch them.
If you are not sure how sensitive your device is to cleaning, please contact
the manufacturer or your sales distributor.
Premoistened cleaning wipes
Use pre-moistened cleaning wipes as described in each individual cleaning
procedure. Cleaning wipes may be used in every instance where a
moistened soft tissue or cotton swab is applied.
Polymer film
Polymer film is available from laboratory suppliers or specialist mail order
companies.
Using polymer film is a gentle method of cleaning extremely sensitive
devices, such as reference reflectors and mirrors.
Infrared Sensor Card
Infrared sensor cards are available from laboratory suppliers or specialist
mail order companies.
With the help of this card you are able to inspect the shape of the laser
light beam emitted. The invisible laser beam is projected onto the sensor
card. The light beam’s infrared wavelengths are reflected at visible
wavelengths, so becoming visible to the eye as a round spot.
Take care never to look into the end of a fiber or any other optical
component when they are in use. This is because the laser can seriously
damage your eyes.
