Application context
Applications named on this model’s datasheet, expanded with the model’s optical specifications.
1018: 1018 nm emission can be matched to the absorption or excitation band used in Optical microscope. The stated stability or noise figure (<0.05% RIN(DC-3 MHz)) helps keep measured intensity changes attributable to the sample rather than source drift.

1018: Physics experiment benefits from a stable, focusable source. 1018 nm emission fixes the compatible coatings and detector response, while the listed beam characteristic (<1.1) informs waist size and propagation.

Technical FAQ
M²: <1.1. Size the downstream optics from the stated beam diameter and divergence rather than from the aperture of the housing, and confirm the polarisation state before specifying isolators or polarising optics.
Share wavelength, operating mode, output power or pulse energy, linewidth or pulse width, delivery, control, and safety requirements and we will qualify the matching configuration and lead time.
Model selection
Compare 1018 with the closest available models in the Fiber Lasers family. Confirm option-dependent values on the final configuration before ordering.

Choosing a laser
Which specifications decide the experiment, and which ones cost money without changing the result.
PhotonicsLinewidth, spectral width, RIN, M², and coherence length answer five different questions. Translate each into the units your experiment is designed in — and learn which ones not to pay for.

PhotonicsSingle-mode fiber does not preserve polarization. Pin the state, erase it with a scrambler, or maintain it in PM fiber — which one your measurement needs, and the response time and extinction ratio that decide it.
