Pulse Duration Pulse duration refers to the length of time during which a laser emits a single pulse of light energy. It is a critical parameter in laser engraving that determines the temporal duration of laser energy deposition onto the material surface. Pulse duration is typically measured in units of time, such as microseconds (μs), nanoseconds (ns), or picoseconds (ps), depending on the laser system's characteristics.
In laser engraving, shorter pulse durations are often desirable as they enable precise control over material ablation, minimize heat-affected zones, and produce finer engraving details. Adjusting pulse duration allows operators to optimize engraving parameters for different materials, surface properties, and engraving requirements. |
