Series-level technical context

Engineering context for a thin CW Lasers record

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.

Typical operating fields in the series

  • Output / average power: 1~50 mW
  • Output / average power: 1~100 mW
  • Output / average power: 1~200 mW
  • Operating mode: CW
  • Power stability (rms, 4 hours ± 3°C): <2%, <1%, <0.5%

Beam-quality tolerance context

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-III-642-SM; confirm them on the order-specific datasheet.

Application context

Why this design is used

Typical uses for this laser type, with the selection logic tied to the model record.

Flow cytometry

MDL-III-642-SM: 642 nm emission can be matched to the absorption or excitation band used in Flow cytometry. Power stability and beam pointing should be confirmed because both affect quantitative image or fluorescence intensity.

DNA sequencing

MDL-III-642-SM: 642 nm emission can be matched to the absorption or excitation band used in DNA sequencing. Power stability and beam pointing should be confirmed because both affect quantitative image or fluorescence intensity.

Medical imaging

MDL-III-642-SM: 642 nm emission can be matched to the absorption or excitation band used in Medical imaging. Power stability and beam pointing should be confirmed because both affect quantitative image or fluorescence intensity.

Collimation

MDL-III-642-SM: Collimation benefits from a stable, focusable source. 642 nm emission fixes the compatible coatings and detector response, while M², divergence and pointing stability should be confirmed for the intended beam path.
