Application context
Applications named on this model’s datasheet, expanded with the model’s optical specifications.
MBL-FN-473-AOM: Laser graphic processing depends on how optical energy is delivered to the target; 473 nm emission governs absorption, while pulse energy, duration and repetition rate governs peak intensity and heat deposition.
MBL-FN-473-AOM: 473 nm emission must sit inside the fiber-component passband used for Laser digital communications; connector polish, fiber mode, linewidth and back-reflection tolerance should be specified as one optical interface.

Technical FAQ
Operating temperature (°C): 10-35 · Cooling: Air Cooled. Provide the stated cooling method and keep the laser-head base thermally coupled; temperature drift moves wavelength, output power and beam pointing.
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.
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.
