Important Safety Notices The Class IIIB laser described here produces a laser emission of 785 nm with output power levels exceeding 350 mW. All models except the –S are designed to be used in a fiber-coupled configuration (-S is designed for SMA coupling); any other configuration may expose the user to hazardous radiation. This laser is safe to operate, provided the user pays attention to all safety warnings: 1. Post warnings in the area of the laser beam to alert those present. 2.

About This Manual iv LASER-785-LAB-02-0409
Chapter 1 Introduction Overview The Multimode Spectrum Stabilized Laser Subsystem Series – Lab Versions consists of three models of continuous wave lasers designed specifically for Raman spectroscopy (see Lab Version Models). These laser models feature an internal 350 mW spectrum stabilized laser module that contains an integral Thermo-Electric Cooler (TEC) and thermistor for monitoring the internal temperature of the laser platform.
1: Introduction Spectral Output Captured with HR4000 Spectrometer Lab Version Models This document covers the installation and operation of the following laser models: • LASER-785-IP-LAB − 785 nm spectrum stabilized multi-mode laser with > 350mW of fibercoupled output power • LASER-785-LAB-ADJ − 785 nm spectrum stabilized multi-mode laser with > 350mW of fibercoupled, adjustable output power. Also features an LED display and an output power control dial.

Chapter 2 Set-up and Operation Overview This section provides instructions for setting up and operating the laser. Read all instructions and warnings carefully before attempting to install and operate your laser. Set-up The laser set-up procedure differs, depending on whether you are going to control the output power automatically via the Internal Preset mode (Model LASER-785-IP-LAB), manually through the unit’s front panel (Models LASER-785-LAB-ADJ and LASER-785-LAB-ADJ-S), or remotely (all models).
2: Set-up and Operation Set-up for Operation in Internal Power Preset Mode Use these set-up instructions for the Internal Power Preset mode (Model LASER-785-IP-LAB). ► Procedure 1. Make sure that the master Power key is in the vertical (“Off’) position. 2. Connect the 120V AC power plug to the power connector on the rear of the unit. 3. Plug the other end of the power cord into a standard 110/120V electrical outlet. 4.
2: Set-up and Operation Set-up for Operation to Control Power Through the Front Panel Use these set-up instructions when you want to control the laser power through the unit’s front panel (Models LASER-785-LAB-ADJ and LASER-785-LAB-ADJ-S). ► Procedure 1. Make sure that the master Power key is in the vertical (“Off’) position. 2. Connect the 120V AC power plug to the power connector on the rear of the unit. 3. Plug the other end of the power cord into a standard 110/120V electrical outlet. 4.
2: Set-up and Operation Set-up for Operation in External Power Control Mode The Model LASER-785-IP-LAB laser is designed for operation in the Internal Power Preset mode and the Models LASER-785-LAB-ADJ and LASER-785-LAB-ADJ-S are designed for operation through their front panel controls. However, the laser provides you with the capability (via an external port on the back panel) of adjusting the power remotely via computer or signal generator in External Power Control mode.
2: Set-up and Operation 2. Push the Laser On switch (on the front panel). The red LED on the front panel lights to indicate that the laser is in operation. The laser turns on approximately 2 seconds after the switch is pressed. Note Note that the switch returns to the center position after you press it. At this point, it can function as a manual reset. 3. In the event of a power interruption, power failure or interlock break, the laser is automatically disabled.
2: Set-up and Operation Note Note that the switch returns to the center position after you press it. At this point, it can function as a manual reset. 4. In the event of a power interruption, power failure or interlock break, the laser is automatically disabled. To re-enable it, toggle the Laser On switch to back to the ON position.
2: Set-up and Operation Shutting Down the Laser Use the following procedure when you are finished using the laser and need to shut it down. ► Procedure 1. Push the Laser On toggle switch (on the front panel) to turn the laser off. Make sure that the Laser On LED goes off. 2. Turn the master Power key (on the rear panel) 90 degrees to the vertical “off” position. The green System Power LED (on the front panel) goes off indicating that system power is off. 3.
