Application context
Why this design is used
Applications named on this model’s datasheet, expanded with the model’s optical specifications.
Teaching of nonlinear optics
MPL-U-473: 473 nm emission determines compatible optics, coatings and detectors for Teaching of nonlinear optics. The catalogued beam parameter (TEM00) helps predict how the source will focus and propagate through the instrument.
Fiber communication
MPL-U-473: 473 nm emission must sit inside the fiber-component passband used for Fiber communication; connector polish, fiber mode, linewidth and back-reflection tolerance should be specified as one optical interface.
System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect MPL-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 (℃): 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
- Transverse mode: TEM00 · M2: <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.
