How to maintain laser crystals

　　Maintaining laser crystals is crucial for extending their lifespan and preserving their performance. The following details methods and precautions for laser crystal maintenance:

　　Cleaning and Maintenance

　　Laser crystal surfaces are easily contaminated and require regular cleaning. Gently wipe the crystal surface with a dust-free cloth or specialized cleaning tools (such as cotton swabs). Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh cleaning agents to prevent scratching the crystal surface.

　　Solvents such as alcohol, ethanol, or anhydrous ethanol can be used for cleaning, but care must be taken to ensure no solvent residue remains on the crystal surface, as this may affect optical performance.

　　For cleaning crystal facets, it is recommended to use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol and gently wipe, ensuring the cotton swab is clean and uncontaminated.

　　Avoiding Physical Damage

　　Laser crystals must be protected from collisions or impacts during operation and storage to prevent cracks or damage.

　　Handle with care during transportation or display to avoid dropping or accidental collisions.

　　Environmental Control

　　Laser crystals are sensitive to temperature and humidity and should be protected from exposure to extreme temperatures or high humidity to prevent cracking or performance degradation.

　　It is recommended to store laser crystals in a dry, clean, and temperature-stable environment, such as a dedicated storage case.

　　Regular Inspection and Calibration

　　Regularly inspect laser crystals for signs of wear, damage, or contamination, and clean or replace them as needed.

　　Overall calibration of the laser equipment, including inspection of the optical path and cooling system, is also a necessary maintenance measure.

　　Avoiding Chemical Corrosion

　　Avoid contact between the laser crystal and products containing chemical components to prevent corrosion or surface damage.

　　The solvents used during cleaning should be non-corrosive, specialized cleaning agents.

　　Proper Storage

　　When not in use, laser crystals should be stored in a soft cloth or dust-proof case to prevent dust and scratches.

　　For long-term storage, it is recommended to remove and inspect and reclean periodically.

　　Safety Precautions

　　When handling laser crystals, appropriate protective equipment (such as gloves) should be worn, and laser safety regulations should be followed.

　　Avoid touching optical surfaces directly with your hands to prevent fingerprints or oil stains.

　　Professional Maintenance

　　For complex laser equipment, it is recommended that regular maintenance and servicing be performed by professionals to ensure proper operation and optimal condition of the laser crystal.
