PYTHON / Twin PYTHON Level-B Course (Maintenance)

The Python B-Level course prepares students to operate and maintain the laser. Students will be informed about the safety aspects of the laser and all main sources of hazards. Course content ranges from basic theory of laser function and laser operation to laser maintenance procedures. Extensive hands-on laboratory time allows students to test their knowledge and develop skills to ensure that they are capable of operating and maintaining the laser safely.

Topics: Function of all main modules like laser head, laser diode controller, laser diode power supply, water cooling, purge gas, energy monitoring, internal and external communication, safety aspects, and sources of hazards. Operation of the laser in different working modes; performance checks. Laser maintenance procedures include chiller maintenance, energy calibration, pulse shaping, and external communication.

Prerequisites: Complete product knowledge requires a basic understanding of electronic and optical systems. Students should be able to read and speak English or German. Some basic understanding of how to read schematics and/or block diagrams would be very helpful.
