Application Notes: Normally, welding (or cutting) copper with a laser is a difficult task that will often
damage the laser due to back reflections. PRC's STS 2000HQ high brightness laser has a standard high speed power
monitor that detects back reflections and reduces drive current to regulate power and protect the laser.
