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 12 wavelength-near cw lasers records; they define the parameters to qualify, but are not substituted for an order-specific datasheet.
Nearby series records state M²: <2.0, M²: ~3.0, M²: <1.2, and Beam divergence (mrad): <1.5. These are series context, not guaranteed values for PGL-FP-480; 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.
