1.2 Laser Safety
The laser sources included in this product are classified according to IEC/EN 60825-1:
1994+A1:2001+A2:2001 and IEC/EN 60825-2:2004
This laser product complies with 21CFR1040.10 except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice
No. 50, dated June 24, 2007.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Under no circumstances should you use any optical instruments to view the laser output
directly.
The OM2012 nLaser provides two tunable C-band or L-band laser sources for use in laboratory
or industrial facilities for a variety of fiber optic system applications. In operation, an Ethernet
connector will connect the OM2012, via a router, to the user’s computer, which will control the
OM2012, using Tektronix proprietary software, and the user’s DUT and related equipment. A
password is required to turn on the lasers. A remote interlock for the laser is available for use if
desired, through the BNC connector on the rear of the unit. An IEC power cord is connected to a
wall outlet.
2.2 OM2012 nLaser Models and Options
The OM2210 Coherent Receiver Calibration Source is available in the following configurations:
OM2012 CC C-band nLaser with two C-band lasers
OM2012 LL L-band nLaser with two L-band lasers
OM2012 CL C- and L-band nLaser with one C-band and one L-band laser
Ensure that the required power sources for the OM2012 (100, 115 or 230 VAC, 50–60 Hz, 0.4A),
the equipment to be used with it, including an external computer (if applicable), are available.
Use the IEC power cord provided to connect to a rack or wall outlet.
Associated cabling includes the IEC power cord, an Ethernet cable, and fiber optic cables to
connect the OM2012, the Device Under Test (DUT), and other devices such as oscilloscopes.
Note: A password is required to turn on the lasers through the Laser / Receiver Control
