1 The 1090, 799.3, 752.5 and 528.7 nm lines each require a special set of mirrors. 1090, 799.3 and 752.2 nm use Model 502 Multiline Mirror Holder.
2 The 472.7, 465.8 and 454.5 nm wavelengths may require special mirrors to achieve the indicated power.
3 Krypton lasers are optimized for the listed red lines. Contact a Lexel Laser, Inc. sales office for performance at 568.2 through 456.2 nm.
4 Single line 647.1 nm may be obtained by using the Prism Wavelength Selector or by using the Model 502 Multiline Mirror Holder and reflectors that select 647.1 nm only.
