| Wavelength Range | |
| Different lenses are needed for different wavelength regions. |
| The M²-200s model include 3 standard lenses with nominal 300mm focal lengths. See below. |
| M²-200s-FW | 266 - 587nm (included) | | | 400 - 750nm (included) | | | 650 - 1125nm (included) | | | 1000 - 1300nm (optional) | |
| Attenuation Range Nominally from ND 0 to ND 4.8. Actual values vary with wavelength. |
| Beam Size | 0.5mm - 10mmM ²-200s |
| | varies with wavelength, waist size and location, and M² |
| Damage Limits¹ | |
| Camera | 0.15 uW/cm² CW mode for a 10 mm input beam diameter |
| | 1.0 uJ/cm² pulse mode for a 10 mm input beam diameter |
| | Both of the above for an M² =1 @ 1064nm |
| ¹ CCD cameras can be damaged by power in excess of 100 mW/cm² or energy in excess of 100 mJ/cm². The M²-200s employs a focusing optic. While it may be that the laser input power or energy measures well below this damage threshold, it can easily exceed these levels when focused onto the camera sensor. Use caution and error on the side of safety. CCD cameras can be costly to repair or replace. |
