laserspecificaties

Laser specificaties refers to the detailed technical characteristics that define the performance and capabilities of a laser system. These specifications are crucial for understanding a laser's intended application and for selecting the appropriate laser for a given task. Key parameters include wavelength, which determines the color and energy of the laser light, and power output, measured in watts or milliwatts, indicating the intensity of the beam.

Beam quality is another important specification, often quantified by the M-squared value, which describes how closely the laser beam approximates an ideal Gaussian beam. This impacts the ability to focus the laser to a small spot. Pulse duration is relevant for pulsed lasers and specifies how long each individual pulse lasts, often measured in nanoseconds or picoseconds. Repetition rate, for pulsed lasers, indicates how many pulses are emitted per second.

Other common specifications include beam divergence, which measures how much the beam spreads out over distance, and mode structure, describing the spatial distribution of intensity within the beam. Manufacturers provide these laser specificaties in datasheets to allow users to compare different laser models and ensure compatibility with their equipment and processes. Understanding these specifications is essential for professionals in fields such as manufacturing, medicine, research, and telecommunications.
