6.3 Laser safety precautions
Guidelines to limit hazards from laser exposure.
All the available EO units in the Flashlink range include a laser.
Therefore this note on laser safety should be read thoroughly.
The lasers emit light at 1310 nm or 1550 nm. This means that the human eye cannot
see the beam, and the blink reflex cannot protect the eye. (The human eye can see
light between 400 nm to 700 nm).
A laser beam can be harmful to the human eye (depending on laser power and
exposure time), therefore:
Be careful when connecting / disconnecting fiber pigtails (ends).
Never look directly into the pigtail of the laser/fiber.
Never use microscopes, magnifying glasses or eye loupes to look into a
fiber end.
Use laser safety goggles blocking light at 1310 nm and at 1550 nm.
Instruments exist to verify light output power: Power meters, IR-cards etc.
