Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the variables used in laser equations, with the original poster seeking a comprehensive list of symbols and their meanings to aid in understanding related questions.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the difficulty of finding a single source for all symbols, suggesting that the original poster might benefit from asking specific questions about symbols encountered in particular problems.

Discussion Status

The conversation highlights the challenge of vague needs and the absence of a centralized resource for laser symbols. Some participants have offered guidance on focusing on specific questions rather than seeking a comprehensive list.

Contextual Notes

The original poster expresses frustration over the lack of available resources and mentions the need to create a personal list of equations, indicating a broader challenge in navigating the subject matter.

Homework Statement



hello
i need a pdf or a homepage where i can get all symbols (variables ) for Laser questions
for example
λ=Wavelength
v=frequency
ω=Beam waist
Q= quality factor
etc.


i have a problem understanding some questions because i don't know which symbol they represent
i hope you can help me

thank you very very much

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution

 
Physics news on Phys.org
I would be surprised if there is a single site with all the symbols you will ever encounter.
Particularly, some symbols may have different meanings in different contexts.

Perhaps you will be better served just to show us the problem and ask about the symbols you don't know about?

You can usually work out what some of the symbols should be by relating the equations to the description of the situation.
 
Thank you for your answer
I can't post every question i have because i have many questions

I hope i could find something that can help me out of this problem
Today i searched one hour to find the equation for Coherence time and Coherence length and finally found it in my books

Anyway i have to make my own equation list.

As it seems there isn't any homepage to solve my problem
 
Certainly no single page ... the main trouble is that your needs are too vague.
 
yes you are right. what I am searching for is nowhere available
anyway
thank you for your help
