Passive cooling using heat sink – minimum requirement is an Aluminium plate with dimensions of 40cm x 40cm x 1cm thick.
Active cooling using heat sink with fins and forced air flow
Active cooling using cooled water and a chiller plate.

The power supply unit will automatically switch the laser off if the in-built over temperature protection system is activated. The laser can only be switched back on when the laser head has cooled down sufficiently.
In case of overheating please check that adequate heat sinking is provided to the laser head.
If a chiller is being used, please ensure that it is connected to the chiller plate on which the laser head is mounted and the fluid is circulating properly, this can be verified by opening the chiller and checking for movement of the water.
If the PSU has fans, please ensure that nothing is blocking them and check that all the fans are rotating properly.
If the cooling system and the fans are running properly and the laser head and /or the power supply unit are still overheating please contact the Laser Quantum Support Team who will be happy to assist you.

For measuring the output power please use a calibrated power meter that is rated for use at the specified power of your laser. Ensure that the wavelength is set according to the value specified in the certificate of conformity and place the power meter in front of the output aperture. Please perform the measurement without any additional optics between the output aperture of the laser head and the power meter.

We can remote connect to most of our laser systems to run diagnostic checks and re-optimise to improve performance.
A remote session will take place at an agreed time and date. In order for us to be able to remote connect to your laser system you will need to download our RemoteApp software from our website using the following link:
http://www.laserquantum.com/products/detail.cfm?id=60
For the remote session the laser needs to be enabled and connected to a computer with the RemoteApp software running. A stable internet connection is required and the firewall needs to allow sending/receiving data from our server.
Laser Quantum will provide you with more detailed information on how to set up your system prior to the remote session.

Using measurements the thermal resistance of the forced air cooling plate was calculated to be 0.08C/W. This means at normal laboratory temperatures and conditions, the temperature of the 6W opus 532 can be maintained
Yes, Laser Quantum green pump sources such as the finesse or opus are well suited to pump also Ti:S lasers running in ps mode or as cw laser. Existing customers are successfully applying Laser Quantum lasers in these areas.
