Application context
Typical uses for this laser type, with the selection logic tied to the model record.
MIL-F-1105: 1105 nm emission must sit inside the fiber-component passband used for Communication; connector polish, fiber mode, linewidth and back-reflection tolerance should be specified as one optical interface.
MIL-F-1105: 1105 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 (TEM00) also controls focusing and collection geometry.
MIL-F-1105: Measurement benefits from a stable, focusable source. 1105 nm emission fixes the compatible coatings and detector response, while the listed beam characteristic (TEM00) informs waist size and propagation.
MIL-F-1105: 1105 nm emission can be matched to the absorption or excitation band used in Flow cytometry. The stated stability or noise figure (<50) helps keep measured intensity changes attributable to the sample rather than source drift.

Technical FAQ
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.
Transverse mode: TEM00 · Beam diameter at the aperture (1/e2, mm): ~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.
