Application context
Why this design is used
Applications named on this model’s datasheet, expanded with the model’s optical specifications.
Medical measurements
MBL-U-473: Medical measurements benefits from a stable, focusable source. 473 nm emission fixes the compatible coatings and detector response, while the listed beam characteristic (<1.2) informs waist size and propagation.
Spectrum analysis
MBL-U-473: 473 nm emission sets the excitation and detector-band choice for Spectrum analysis; linewidth and wavelength stability determine how cleanly weak spectral features can be separated from the laser line. The listed beam characteristic (<1.2) also controls focusing and collection geometry.
System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect MBL-U-473 to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Thermal management
- Operating temperature (°C): 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
- M²: <1.2 · Transverse mode: TEM00
- 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.
