pulsed laser
A pulsed laser emits brief bursts, or pulses, of light energy rather than a continuous beam. These pulses can be very short—lasting billionths of a second—allowing the laser to deliver high intensity without constant energy output. This technology is used in various fields such as medicine for precise surgeries, in industry for cutting materials, and in research for studying fast processes. By focusing energy in short bursts, pulsed lasers can achieve effects that continuous lasers cannot, making them valuable tools in both practical applications and scientific exploration.
