Best Answer

Power broadening is an effect whereby the line-width of a laser is broadened by the laser intensity itself. Higher laser intensity leads to a larger line-width. This can be explained by considering the decay rate of atoms from the upper to lower laser level. As the laser intensity increases, this decay rate (which is linearly related to the line-width) increases due to stimulated emission.

7. What is output power?The output power is related to the produced power of the laser beam, which is usually stated in milliwatt (mW). The milliwatt is a unit of power, which is one one-thousand of a watt. Higher power lasers are always more powerful than lower power lasers


Are yellow lasers more powerful than ultraviolet lasers?

you can't answer this question with out knowing the power of both lasers. If you had two lasers, one yellow the other UV, BOTH WITH IDENTICAL POWER, the yellow laser would APPEAR to be more powerful since our eyes are particularly tuned to see this color. The UV laser would APPEAR to be invisible (i.e. no power) because our eyes cannot see UV light. Keep in mind that one only appears to be more powerful because of the way our eyes work, in reality they both have the same power.
