A unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one millionth of a meter. Often referred to as a "micron".;
Micron
Industrial machinery; Laser equipment
An abbreviated expression for micro metre which is the unit of length equal to 1 millionth of a meter. (See Micrometer.)
Mode
Industrial machinery; Laser equipment
A term used to describe how the power of a laser beam is geometrically distributed across the cross section of the beam. Also used to describe the operating mode of a laser such as continuous or ...
Mode Locked
Industrial machinery; Laser equipment
A method of producing laser pulses in which short pulses (approximately 10-12 second) are produced and emitted in bursts or a continuous train.
Modulation
Industrial machinery; Laser equipment
The ability to superimpose an external signal on the output beam of the laser as a control.
Monochromatic Light
Industrial machinery; Laser equipment
Theoretically, light consisting of just one wavelength. No light is absolutely single frequency since it will have some bandwidth. Lasers provide the narrowest of bandwidths that can be achieved.
Nanometer (nm)
Industrial machinery; Laser equipment
A unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one billionth of a meter. Abbreviated nm - a measure of length. One nm equals 10-9 meter, and is the usual measure of light ...
