Application context
Why this design is used
Typical uses for this laser type, with the selection logic tied to the model record.
Laboratory measurement
AO-U-527: Laboratory measurement benefits from a stable, focusable source. 527 nm emission fixes the compatible coatings and detector response, while the listed beam characteristic (TEM00) informs waist size and propagation.
System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect AO-U-527 to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Thermal management
- Cooled method: Air cooled · Operating temperature (℃): 10-35
- Provide the stated cooling method and keep the laser-head base thermally coupled; temperature drift moves wavelength, output power and beam pointing.
- Beam parameters at the output
- Transverse mode: TEM00 · M²: <1.5
- 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.
