Electronics360: "7 key parameters for specifying laser systems and components"

Very interesting to know the key parameters to specify a laser system for a specific application. I think first it is important to fix the application and then to choose the laser system.

Nowadays, there are many types of lasers, their specifications are given to meet your applications.

In the case of femtosecond laser as an example the main parameters are:

• Wavelength λ
• Repetition rate f_p
• pulse duration τ
• Pulse energy E_p
• _{Beam quality} Q_b
