Ok let me set the scene...
I am involved in a company that uses laser systems to measure the thickness of stents and such. Everything worked fine up until last week...
Assumption: when a laser blows it emits a dull red glow.
The laser in my system is not showing anything at all- no light is being emit. If I put another laser in the system it works. I'm aware I could change every single laser on the system, but that, due to realignment would take forever and a day. Therefore, I was wondering what does it mean if the laser is not emitting any light what so ever? Assuming my assumption from before, that blown lasers still emit a dull glow, what do lasers that emit nothing actually mean? Are they just broken or blown or what?
I really don't want to buy more lasers, so though I'd come on here and see what a none emitting laser diode actually means- if it is broken.
