Laser equipment

Population Inversion

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

A state in which a substance has been energized, or excited, so that more atoms or molecules are in a higher excited state than in a lower resting state. This is a necessary prerequisite for laser ...

Protective Housing

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

A protective housing is a device designed to prevent access to radiant power or energy.

Spontaneous Emission

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

Decay of an excited atom to a ground or resting state by the random emission of one photon. The decay is determined by the lifetime of the excited state.

Spot Size

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

The mathematical measurement of the radius of the laser beam.

Stimulated Emission

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

When an atom, ion, or molecule capable of lasing is excited to a higher energy level by an electric charge or other means, it will spontaneously emit a photon as it decays to the normal ground state. ...

YAG (Yttrium aluminium Garnet)

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

A widely used solid-state crystal which is composed of yttrium and aluminium oxides which is doped with a small amount if the rare-earth neodymium.

Superpulse

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

Electronic pulsing of the laser driving circuit to produce a pulsed output (250-1000 times per second), with peak powers per pulse higher than the maximum attainable in the continuous wave mode. ...
