Operating Notes
1. Be sure that the operating current is not exceed the specified operating current, or
else which will accelerate aging, shorten lifetime or even damage devices.
2. Increase the current gradually to the specified operating value. For shutting down
the laser diode, please decrease the current to zero gradually, and then turn off the
power. Pleaser sure that the power supply have no current overshoot at any time.
The current overshoot can damage the laser diodes.
3. The high power laser diode is sensitive to the work temperature. The work
temperature should be no more than 30°C. It is better if the temperature of the heat
sink can be keep at 20°C.
4. Be careful to keep the facet cleaning. Contamination of facet will result in rapid
degradation of devices.
5. The high power laser diode is very sensitive to static. Please caution about static
during operating with the laser diode.
6. Caution! Don’t look at the laser light directly, because it’s harmful to eyes.
7. A clean, dry and ventilated environment should be available when storing and
operation. Dew can damage the laser diodes.
8. The storage temperature is between –10 and 70°C.
