Application context
Typical uses for this laser type, with the selection logic tied to the model record.
FC-W-1870H: 1870 nm emission determines compatible optics, coatings and detectors for Optical instrumentation. Beam quality, divergence and pointing stability should be checked against the experiment geometry.
FC-W-1870H: Laboratory measurement benefits from a stable, focusable source. 1870 nm emission fixes the compatible coatings and detector response, while M², divergence and pointing stability should be confirmed for the intended beam path.

Technical FAQ
Fiber core diameter: 400um, 0.22 NA · Fiber connector: SMA905, FC/PC optional. Match the listed connector and fiber mode exactly; SMA905, FC/PC and FC/APC are not interchangeable, and a single-mode launch requires mode-field as well as numerical-aperture matching.
Cooled method: Air cooled · Operating temperature (°C): 10-40. Provide the stated cooling method and keep the laser-head base thermally coupled; temperature drift moves wavelength, output power and beam pointing.
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.

Choosing a laser
