Laser equipment

Current Saturation

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

The maximum flow of electric current in a conductor; in a laser, the point at which further electrical input will not increase laser output.

CW

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

Abbreviation for continuous wave; the continuous-emission mode of a laser as opposed to pulsed operation.

Depth of Focus

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

The distance over which the focused laser spot has a constant diameter and thus constant irradiance.

Dichroic Filter

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

Filter that allows selective transmission of colors desired wavelengths.

Diffraction

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

Deviation of part of a beam, determined by the wave nature of radiation and occurring when the radiation passes the edge of an opaque obstacle.

Takes place when different parts of a beam incident on a surface are reflected over a wide range of angles in accordance with Lambert's law. The intensity will fall-off as the inverse of the square ...

Diffuser

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

An optical device or material that homogenizes the output of light causing a very smooth, scattered, even distribution over the area affected. The intensity will obey Lambert's law. (See Diffuse ...
