Reading note
Pulse duration is the interval over which a single emission is delivered. It is published in different orders of magnitude depending on the device class, so the unit matters as much as the number.
A shorter pulse concentrates the same energy into less time. Documentation that quotes only an energy figure without a pulse duration does not describe the delivery.
