Series-level technical context
This model has no standalone PDF and only a small number of model-specific rows. The values below are traceable context from 11 nearby configurations on the same source-product record; they define the parameters to qualify, but are not substituted for an order-specific datasheet.
Nearby series records state M²: <1.1, Beam divergence, full angle (mrad): <1.5, and Beam divergence, full angle (mrad): <1.0. These are series context, not guaranteed values for MDL-C-642; confirm them on the order-specific datasheet.

Choosing a laser
Which specifications decide the experiment, and which ones cost money without changing the result.
PhotonicsLinewidth, spectral width, RIN, M², and coherence length answer five different questions. Translate each into the units your experiment is designed in — and learn which ones not to pay for.
