Actual Cross-section

Operation guidelines:

Choose a beam dump that fits the maximum average power of your laser.

• CW Example: Any output over 50 watts calls for a water-cooled beam dump.
• Pulsed Example: Energy per pulse is 4.5 joules and the Rep. Rate is 100. Multiply the single shot energy by the Rep. Rate for average power. (4.5 x 100 = 450 watts).
• Q-switched lasers: Be aware that the black non-reflective coating will be damaged after long exposure. However, our beam dumps are designed not to reflect the beam outward even if all the black coating has been eroded away.
  

Operation Setup guidelines:

• Please ALWAYS wear the appropriate laser eyewear whenever the laser is operating.
• Never position the beam dump at the focal point of any optics; this will cause unnecessary damage.
• Place the beam dump in the beam path where you want to stop the beam.
• Fasten the beam dump to the work surface to prevent accidental movement or tipping over.
• This water-cooled laser beam trap (p/n LBT-2C) has two quick disconnect fittings installed on the back. You will also need two lengths of 10mm OD x 8mm ID poly tubing (order p/n LBT-OTM). Attach poly tubing to the ports. Recommended water flow: ¼ GPM for 1-200 watts, ½ GPM for 201-500 watts, 1½ GPM for 501-1000 watts.
