+The D2-100 is only specified for use with the Vescent D2-105 laser controller, and with cables provided by Vescent.

 The D2-100 is a Class 3B CW laser product under the guidelines provided in IEC 60825-01:2014. It has no serviceable parts, and should not be disassembled in the field under any circumstance. Viewing of the beam, either directly, with viewing optics, or from a specular reflection can cause damage to the eye, and should be avoided.

 The Maximum Permissable Exposire (MPE) for the D2-100 is 14.45 W*m<sup>-2</sup>, calculated with a >10s exposure time, and the Nominal Ocular Hazard distance is roughly 100m. Proper eye protection for the D2-100 is highly wavelength dependent. We recommend [[https://noirlaser.com/lasershields?input1=780&input2=0&input3=0|this]] online tool, provided by NoIR, and an OD value of at least 3+ for the selected wavelength when choosing the correct eye protection.
-There are three safety stickers present on the D2-100. The first, located on the side of the isolator module, is the explanatory sticker, which states the classification of the laser, and several safety instructions. It reads: "Invisible laser radiation avoid exposure to beam class 3B laser product".

+On the side of the isolator module opposite the explanatory sticker is a sticker which lists the maximum possible output of the laser in mW, the wavelength of the laser, and the name of the IEC certification standard to which the laser adheres.

 On the top of the D2-100, near the laser aperture, is a "Laser Aperture" sticker.

 There is only one laser aperture on the D2-100, located on the front with the isolator as shown in (<imgref DBR_laser>).
+Safe operation of the D2-100 necessitates that a compliant laser driver be used to supply a current to the diode. It is important to always correctly set the current limit on any laser driver before energizing the laser system. The D2-100 is a Cathode-Ground laser, and requires a DC current between 0mA and 500mA((Specific current for each laser supplied with test documentation)) to be safely turned on. The connector used to supply current to the D2-100 is a female SMA, which requires a male SMA cable for compatibility.
