spatially.
Travel in Time and space in perfect unison in one direction. In phase or in step
Monochromatic - Answer-Laser light is composed of one wave length and one color
weather visible or invisible
Collimated - Answer-Photon are parallel to each other in a diameter of the beam to
produce a focused spot by using a lens
Fluence - Answer-The energy of the pulsed laser beam it is expressed in joules per cm2
Joule - Answer-The unit of energy or work
NS. Nanosecond - Answer-Pulse duration or width is measured in
Spot size - Answer-Spot size is measured in mm. Millimeters
Optical energy - Answer-Is determined by the lasers power,spot size and the pulse
duration or pulse width
