Beam delivery optical cable connection

The optical power from the fiber laser supply is delivered through the beam delivery optical cable/optics. Because of the

small surface area and the high power levels, cleanliness of the input and output optical surfaces is critical to component

lifetime and proper operation. The optical surface at the bayonet end of the Beam delivery optical cable should be

inspected, with the magnifier that was supplied with the system, before installation and whenever it is removed from the

collimator. To prevent contamination and chipping, the optical surface should not be touched. See page 4-4 for details

of the inspection and cleaning procedure.

Caution:

the minimum bend radius of the Beam delivery optical cable is 100 mm

(4 in). the fiber can be damaged if the radius is any smaller.
