Tunable Laser beams are extremely dangerous to human eyes. Do not expose the eye or skin to any Laser light directly and/or through optical lens. When handling the Tunable Laser Modules, wear appropriate safety glasses to prevent Laser light, even any reflections from entering to the eye. Focused Laser beam through optical instruments will increase the chance of eye hazard. This Nichia Tunable Laser Module is classified in Class 3B of IEC60825-1 and Complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50, dated June 24, 2007. It is absolutely necessary to take overall safety measures against User's equipment and systems into which Nichia Tunable Laser are incorporated and/or integrated. (2) Operating Method Please follow instructions manual for operation; otherwise Tunable Laser will malfunction or characteristics will be degraded. Cable connectors must be connected firmly before supplying electrical source. In addition electrical cable must keep connecting during operating the Tunable Laser. Tunable Laser characteristics especially Laser longitudinal mode will be degraded by own feed back beam or other reflected beam such as stray light. In order to maintain the Laser characteristics, installing optical Isolator or other substitute optical components are recommended (3) Static Electricity Static electricity or electrical surges will reduce and degrade the reliability of the Tunable Laser. It is recommended to use a wrist strap or anti-electrostatic glove when handling the Product. (4) Absolute Maximum Rating Active layer of Tunable Laser shall have high current density and generate high electric field during its operation. order to prevent excessive damage, the Tunable Laser must be operated strictly below Absolute Max Rating. In (5) Others Nichia Tunable Laser described in this brochure is intended to be used for ordinary electronic equipment (such as Holographic data Storage, Interferometer instruments, Analysis and measurement instruments). Consult Nichia’s sales staff in advance for information on the applications in which exceptional quality and reliability are required, particularly when the failure or malfunction of the Tunable Laser may directly jeopardize life or health (such as for airplanes, aerospace, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control systems, automobiles, traffic control equipment, life support systems and safety devices). The Purchaser must acknowledge that any Tunable Laser can be failed statically and must design its equipments fail safe design. Prior to use of the Tunable Laser, please confirm that the Tunable Laser as described in Nichia’s specifications, meets the life expectancy needs of, and provides the features required by the Circuit and any related modules, equipment and/or systems. Nichia prohibit Purchaser from reverse engineering, disassembling, or taking any other steps to derive the structure or design of the Tunable Laser. The appearance and specifications of the product may be modified for improvement without notice. The formal specifications must be exchanged and signed by both parties before large volume purchase begins. No unauthorized transmission or reproduction of this document, either in whole or in part, is permitted. -3-
