6.1 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 1270 nm or 1610 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 between 1270 nm and at 1610 nm.
Instruments exist to verify light output power: Power meters, IR-cards etc.
