Application context

Why this design is used

Applications named on a datasheet for this product line, interpreted against this model’s listed wavelength and beam data.

Orientation

PGL-VI-FC-520: 520 nm emission determines compatible optics, coatings and detectors for Orientation. The catalogued beam parameter (Near TEM00) helps predict how the source will focus and propagate through the instrument.

Alignment

PGL-VI-FC-520: 520 nm emission determines compatible optics, coatings and detectors for Alignment. The catalogued beam parameter (Near TEM00) helps predict how the source will focus and propagate through the instrument.

Measurement

PGL-VI-FC-520: Measurement benefits from a stable, focusable source. 520 nm emission fixes the compatible coatings and detector response, while the listed beam characteristic (Near TEM00) informs waist size and propagation.

System integration

Integration and compatibility

Use these checks to connect PGL-VI-FC-520 to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.

Thermal management
Operating temperature: 0°C to 40°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: Near TEM00 · Beam divergence, full angle (mrad): <1
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 internal PCB: mm2 / Φ12×50
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.
