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.

Multimode

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

Laser emission at several closely spaced frequencies.

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 ...
