AI Thread Summary
High pulsing frequencies in lasers, such as 3.333 x 10e14 Hz, can be achieved through techniques like Q-switching, modelocking, and gain-switching. These methods allow lasers to operate in pulsed mode, resulting in significantly higher peak powers compared to continuous wave outputs. Q-switching involves storing energy and releasing it in short bursts, while modelocking creates a series of pulses at regular intervals. Gain-switching rapidly turns the laser on and off to produce short pulses. Understanding these techniques is crucial for applications requiring high-frequency electron emission.

Hi, just out of curiosity, i heard about a new electron gun (if that's the proper term) using a laser pulsing at about 3.333 x 10e14 Hz to increase the frequency at which the electrons are emitted.

How does the laser reach such pulsing frequencies?

Thanks.

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
