+Never connect or disconnect the D2-100 Laser to a laser controller that is energized.  Always power down the laser controller completely before making connections to this laser.
+Always make sure to make a snug connection between the D2-100 and the current-carrying SMA cable, and between the cable and the laser controller.

 Current is provided to the DBR chip through an SMA connector.  The central conductor of the SMA connects to the laser anode, and the shield connects to the laser cathode.  //This is a direct, unprotected connection to the DBR chip, so care must be taken to avoid ESD damage.//
