They can also be used as stand-alone laser shutters for manual or remote switching of the laser beam. They are also available as OEM products. Opening of any laboratory door without use of the override will result in the shutter closing, thus preventing unprotected persons from exposure to the laser radiation. The shutter is fail-safe and gravity operated so any loss of power will cause the shutter to close without reliance on springs or any other device. Combined Shutter & Beam Dump The LS-10-12 and LS-100-12 shutters are designed to absorb all the laser beam power thus eliminating the need for an additional beam dump and avoiding hazardous reflections. The laser beam is converted to heat and radiated from the shutter case. These shutters can be used with lasers up to the maximum average power specified as follows. • - The LS-10-12 is suitable for up to 20 W average power.
