As a cautionary warning, a laser with a 1550 nm wavelength can still cause damage to the human eye. I don't know how collimated the laser in this system is but when we piped this color of light down single-mode fiber, looking in the other end could leave you with a dead spot in your retina.

If you're working with 1550nm light and single-mode fibers you should know that, and if you don't you should've received better laser safety training.
