Among the various laser parameters, laser pulse width is a crucial factor to be selected carefully, depending on the application.... Microsecond laser pulses have been widely applied for various medical treatments. Nd :YAG laser pulses with a width of microseconds and 1064 nm [nanometer] wavelength are useful for treating keloid, hypertrophic, or surgical scars. 2, record 2, English, - laser%20pulse%20width

Laser ablation can be used to form small, precise shapes in Nitinol. Material removal in the sub-mm-range is accomplished by a predominant vaporizing of very small portions using a Q-switched Nd :YAG laser operating in the TEMoo mode. The typical laser milling operation is performed by scanning the laser beam in a serpentine fashion over the area to be milled. 2, record 3, English, - laser%20milling

On utilise actuellement deux grandes classes de machines selon l'application visée, qui dépendent du type de laser utilisé : les machines YAG et les machines CO2. Soudage YAG. [Les] lasers YAG [...] sont des lasers solides dont le milieu, de nature cristalline, est un grenat d'aluminium-yttrium [...] Le cristal, transparent, se présente sous la forme d'un barreau cylindrique. Cette configuration, imposée par son élaboration, gouverne toute la technologie du laser et ses performances, dont la puissance maximale (il existe aujourd'hui des cristaux YAG dits slab, ou plaques, plus performants thermiquement et plus puissants). Il impose une cavité stable mono- ou multimodule pour laquelle il n'y a pratiquement pas de variantes. 1, record 4, French, - soudage%20YAG

[...] Sommerfeld a introduit la notion de relativité dans la description de l'atome : les électrons tournant à grande vitesse autour du proton voient leur masse s'accroître par effet relativiste. On trouve alors que l'énergie de l'atome dépend du second nombre quantique également, même en l'absence du champ magnétique : il en résulte que les raies d'émission de l'atome se subdivisent. On dit que l'atome possède une structure fine. La structure fine ne s'explique complètement que si l'on tient compte du spin de l'électron (le spin étant une quantité que l'on peut relier à la rotation de l'électron sur lui-même et non plus autour du proton). 2, record 6, French, - configuration%20d%27atomes%20en%20rotation
