The spatial coherence of laser emission makes it possible to focus beams in small volumes. Consequently, high-power-density irradiations can be obtained, especially with Q-switched lasers whose energy is delivered in a few nanoseconds or even picoseconds. 5, record 1, English, - Q%2Dswitched%20laser
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
By far the most powerful laser pulses of all are produced by the so-called giant-pulse technique, also known as Q-switching. This technique depends on the fact that when atoms are raised to an excited state they remain there for perhaps a few thousandths of a second .... 6, record 1, English, - Q%2Dswitched%20laser
