GUIDE OVERVIEW
This product guide is intended to provide functional, operational and installation
information for Koheras BOOSTIK LC laser amplifiers.
Warning: Do not operate the laser before first reading and understanding all warn-
ings, cautions and handling information stated within the document:
Koheras BOOSTIK LC-series Laser Safety, Handling and Regulatory Information
Warning: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Documentation A USB memory stick is included. It contains the soft copy documentation for this
laser.
Terminology The guide may refer to both the Koheras BOOSTIK LC as the laser amplifier or just
simply module. The Koheras BOOSTIK LC is a module designed to be fitted to and as
part of a complete laser system.
Target Audience This guide is for technical personnel involved in the selection, planning and
deployment of lasers in laboratory and industrial settings. The guide assumes a
reasonable knowledge level of lasers, photonic principles and electrical interface
connectivity.
Chapters Inside This guide includes the following chapters:
• Chapter I “Description” — Describes the Koheras BOOSTIK LC laser amplifier
module including its general operational description and features, interfaces.
• Chapter 2 “Installation” — Includes information and procedures on how to
correctly install the module. Procedures within this chapter focus on providing
adequate temperature regulation.
• Chapter 3 “CONTROL GUI” — Introduces and describes how to use the software
control interface software to manage the module.
• Chapter 4 “SDK Registers and Tabs” — An introduction to the registers and tabs
of the Generic User Interface included with the NKT Photonics Software
Development Kit.
• Appendices — The guide includes multiple appendices including specifications,
support contact details, connector pin assignments, error codes and a control
software installation procedure.
