Laser Operation

2 - 7

Installing a

Mounting

Bracket

It is important to use a mounting bracket that is specifically designed

to handle the heat dissipation requirements of our lasers, especially

for those operating above 20 mW. Coherent StingRay lasers contain

a built-in temperature monitoring circuit. Should the laser become

too hot, the unit is designed to temporarily shut down. Full laser

operation will only resume once the laser returns to normal oper-

ating temperatures and power is cycled.

If you would like to have a mounting bracket (P/N 1222896) shipped

with your laser, make sure to mention it at the time you place the

order. The standard mounting bracket has 4 thru-holes or M3

metric-threaded holes from the bottom for easy mounting. Once

attached to the assembly, slide the laser (front end first) into the

mount. Position the laser so there is full accessibility to the focusing

element. Tighten the clamp on the laser mount.

NOTICE!

Always ensure that any support on which the laser is mounted is

not made of insulating material, and that the heat of the laser

can be properly transferred.
