Application context
Why this design is used
Applications named on this model’s datasheet, expanded with the model’s optical specifications.
Spectroscopy
FL-1178-CW: 1178 nm emission sets the excitation and detector-band choice for Spectroscopy; linewidth and wavelength stability determine how cleanly weak spectral features can be separated from the laser line. The listed beam characteristic (<1.3) also controls focusing and collection geometry.
Laser sintering
FL-1178-CW: 1178 nm emission determines compatible optics, coatings and detectors for Laser sintering. The catalogued beam parameter (<1.3) helps predict how the source will focus and propagate through the instrument.
Laser microprocessing
FL-1178-CW: Laser microprocessing depends on how optical energy is delivered to the target; 1178 nm emission governs absorption, while pulse energy, duration and repetition rate governs peak intensity and heat deposition.
System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect FL-1178-CW to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Fiber delivery interface
- Fiber connector: FC/APC, Collimator 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.
- Thermal management
- Cooled method: Air cooled · Operating temperature (℃): 15-35
- 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
- M2: <1.3 · Beam diameter (mm): 4±1 (Collimator output)
- 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.
