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. ...
