Claim Text:
1. A laser safety control system, comprising: a power source module coupled to an AC source and including a laser module including a high power fiber laser system and a laser pump system which receives the DC output, wherein the low voltage is lower than an emission threshold of the laser pump system; and a safety controller configured to control an operation of the power source module in response to external signals from respective external and internal safety-related sensors, the safety controller generating enabling signals coupled into respective the first and second safety channels so as to enable the power source module in the normal operating regime when all of the external and internal sensors do not output respective external signals, and the safety controller removing the enabling signals in response to the external signals of at least one of the internal and external sensors, either of the two safety channels being operative to switch the normal operating regime of the power source module to the safety regime and discharge the output capacitor in the absence of the enabling signals.
