Application context
Applications named on this model’s datasheet, expanded with the model’s optical specifications.
MIL-W-1834: Material processing especially for plastics depends on how optical energy is delivered to the target; 1834 nm emission governs absorption, while pulse energy, duration and repetition rate governs peak intensity and heat deposition.
MIL-W-1834: 1834 nm emission determines compatible optics, coatings and detectors for Ophthalmic surgery. The catalogued beam parameter (Near TEM00) helps predict how the source will focus and propagate through the instrument.

Technical FAQ
Cooled method: Air Cooled · Operating temperature (℃): 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: Near TEM00 · Beam divergence, full angle (mrad): <2.0. 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.
