Application context
Why this design is used
Typical uses for this laser type, with the selection logic tied to the model record.
DNA sequencing
PGL-VI-473: 473 nm emission can be matched to the absorption or excitation band used in DNA sequencing. Power stability and beam pointing should be confirmed because both affect quantitative image or fluorescence intensity.
Medical imaging
PGL-VI-473: 473 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.
Spectrum analysis
PGL-VI-473: 473 nm emission sets the excitation and detector-band choice for Spectrum analysis; linewidth and wavelength stability determine how cleanly weak spectral features can be separated from the laser line. The listed beam characteristic (TEM00) also controls focusing and collection geometry.
System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect PGL-VI-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°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.
- Beam parameters at the output
- Transverse mode: TEM00 · Beam divergence, full angle (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
- Dimensions of PGL-VI-473: Φ20×100mm2 · Dimensions of PGL-VI-1-473: Φ15×65mm2
- 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.
