Series-level technical context
This model has no standalone PDF and only a small number of model-specific rows. The values below are traceable context from 11 nearby configurations on the same source-product record; they define the parameters to qualify, but are not substituted for an order-specific datasheet.
M², full-angle divergence and pointing stability are not present in this thin record. Treat all three as required order-confirmation fields because they determine focusability, propagation and alignment drift.
Application context

YL-I-638/450: 638 nm emission determines compatible optics, coatings and detectors for Optical instrumentation. Beam quality, divergence and pointing stability should be checked against the experiment geometry.
YL-I-638/450: Laboratory measurement benefits from a stable, focusable source. 638 nm emission fixes the compatible coatings and detector response, while M², divergence and pointing stability should be confirmed for the intended beam path.
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.

Choosing a laser
Which specifications decide the experiment, and which ones cost money without changing the result.
PhotonicsLinewidth, spectral width, RIN, M², and coherence length answer five different questions. Translate each into the units your experiment is designed in — and learn which ones not to pay for.
