WARNING
Danger of injuries due to scattered radiation
The PocketMonitor must not be held into the beam path by hand!
Put the PMT onto a thermally isolating, temperature-resistant surface
that simultaneously xates the device.
Wear safety goggles that are adapted to the laser wavelength used.
NOTICE
Danger of damage
The maximum admissible laser power of a PocketMonitor is measured
with an irradiation time of 10 s. After 20s the absorber would overheat.
Please mind the limit values in table Tab. 9.1.
