pulsed lasing
1Lasing threshold — The lasing threshold is the lowest excitation level at which a laser s output is dominated by stimulated emission rather than by spontaneous emission. Below the threshold, the laser s output power rises slowly with increasing excitation. Above… …

3Dye laser — Close up of a table top dye laser based on Rhodamine 6G, emitting at 580 nm (yellow orange). The emitted laser beam is visible as faint yellow lines. The orange dye solution enters the laser from the left, and is pumped by a 514 nm (blue green)… …
4Laser diode — Top: a packaged laser diode shown with a penny for scale. Bottom: the laser diode chip is removed from the above package and placed on the eye of a needle for scale …
5Laser cutting — process on a sheet of steel. CAD (top) and stainless steel laser cut part (bottom) Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to cut materials, an …
6Q-switching — Q switching, sometimes known as giant pulse formation, is a technique by which a laser can be made to produce a pulsed output beam. The technique allows the production of light pulses with extremely high (gigawatt) peak power, much higher than… …
7Gain-switching — is a technique in optics by which a laser can be made to produce pulses of light of extremely short duration, of the order of picoseconds (10 12s).In a semiconductor laser, the optical pulses are generated by injecting a large number of carriers… …
