Understanding Long-Pulsed Nd:YAG Laser Technology
Quick Summary Pulse duration significantly influences how a laser interacts with its target. Millisecond-scale pulses from long-pulsed systems create a gentler, more gradual heating effect than the nanosecond bursts associated with Q-switched operation. That difference[…]
