Abstract
The invention relates to a laser device (10) comprising at least one laser unit (20) for generating laser light, and cooling means (30) for cooling said laser unit, said cooling means including a channel arrangement (35) through which a cooling fluid is circulated for transferring heat away from the laser unit. The laser device is characterized in that a mounting member (46) for releasably holding a fluid container (50) is provided, the mounting member comprises a first connector element (42) for connecting to a second connector element (44) of the fluid container in a fluid tight manner, and the mounting member is connected with the channel arrangement. The invention further relates to a fluid container for cooling fluid for use in the laser device. The fluid container is designed as a cartridge (50) and comprises an information storage means (60) for storing information about the container and the cooling fluid filled in said fluid container.
