Laser Safety
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with eye damage from exposure to laser light:
- Take the proper precautions when working with optical fiber because invisible laser light may be present. The principal laser hazard
when working with fiber optics is injury to the eye. Never look directly into the fiber or connector using the naked eye or a microscope.
