Application context
Applications named on a datasheet for this product line, interpreted against this model’s listed wavelength and beam data.
PGL-H1-473: 473 nm emission determines compatible optics, coatings and detectors for Scientific experiment. The catalogued beam parameter (Near TEM00) helps predict how the source will focus and propagate through the instrument.
PGL-H1-473: 473 nm emission determines compatible optics, coatings and detectors for Optical sensor. The catalogued beam parameter (Near TEM00) helps predict how the source will focus and propagate through the instrument.
PGL-H1-473: Measurement benefits from a stable, focusable source. 473 nm emission fixes the compatible coatings and detector response, while the listed beam characteristic (Near TEM00) informs waist size and propagation.
PGL-H1-473: 473 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.

Technical FAQ
Operating temperature: 10°C to 35°C. 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 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.
