Application context
Why this design is used
Typical uses for this laser type, with the selection logic tied to the model record.
Laser spectroscopy
PS-M-590: 590 nm emission sets the excitation and detector-band choice for Laser spectroscopy; linewidth and wavelength stability determine how cleanly weak spectral features can be separated from the laser line. The listed beam characteristic (<1) also controls focusing and collection geometry.
Sensing
PS-M-590: 590 nm emission determines compatible optics, coatings and detectors for Sensing. The catalogued beam parameter (<1) helps predict how the source will focus and propagate through the instrument.
Metrology
PS-M-590: 590 nm emission determines compatible optics, coatings and detectors for Metrology. The catalogued beam parameter (<1) helps predict how the source will focus and propagate through the instrument.
System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect PS-M-590 to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Thermal management
- Cooled method: Water cooled · Operating temperature (℃): 15~35
- 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, full angle (mrad): <1 · Beam diameter at the aperture (1/e2,mm): ~3.0
- 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.
