Application context
Why this design is used
Typical uses for this laser type, with the selection logic tied to the model record.
Physics experiment
PGL-LF-980: Physics experiment benefits from a stable, focusable source. 980 nm emission fixes the compatible coatings and detector response, while the listed beam characteristic (<1.5) informs waist size and propagation.
Medical imaging
PGL-LF-980: 980 nm emission can be matched to the absorption or excitation band used in Medical imaging. Power stability and beam pointing should be confirmed because both affect quantitative image or fluorescence intensity.
Flow cytometry
PGL-LF-980: 980 nm emission can be matched to the absorption or excitation band used in Flow cytometry. Power stability and beam pointing should be confirmed because both affect quantitative image or fluorescence intensity.
System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect PGL-LF-980 to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Thermal management
- Operating temperature (°C): -10°C to +45°C
- 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
- Beam divergence (mrad): <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.
- Mechanical envelope
- Weight (g): 45g
- Verify the housing drawing and bolt length before designing a mount. A laser head rarely carries a table thread itself, so the adapter between it and an M6 or 1/4"-20 grid is part of the specification.
