Fail-safe shutter operation system that safely terminates an electromagnetic wave beam upon interlock action

Background High-power electromagnetic radiation (ER) beams are usually isolated in an enclosed area guarded by a safety interlock. Opening of the entry point into the protected area causes the interlock to activate a safety system, preventing individuals from accidental exposure to the ER beam. In some systems, the interlock de-energizes the source...
