A Nd:YAG operates in pulsed mode with an energy of 0.2 J per pulse, and a pulse repetition rate of 50 Hz. Each laser pulse lasts for 1.5 ns a) What is the instantaneous laser power during each pulse? b)What is the average power output of this laser
Added by Alexander M.
Step 1
2 J and time duration of each pulse is given as 1.5 ns (nanoseconds). But we need to convert the time duration to seconds for the formula to work. 1.5 ns = 1.5 x 10^-9 s So, the instantaneous laser power during each pulse is: Power = 0.2 J / (1.5 x 10^-9 s) = Show more…
