It is important to fully understand and define your requirements before you buy.

We recommend that for your preparation and for inquiries to suppliers, you draw up a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs:

To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying surface-emitting semiconductor lasers. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.

I think that I am sufficiently informed about our requirements.

Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.

I consider the above list of specifications to be sufficiently complete, clear and accurate.

If you check this, the criteria will be inserted into the inquiry mail if below you use a button titled "Get quotation".

If you cannot sufficiently clarify your requirements, you may want to get technical consultancy from RP Photonics.
