Thanks Jack.
Just got finished reading this post you also had input too. Most interesting read!..sorry it was closed yesterday or I would have posted my appreciation.
The pic’s were great and the bits about the jig setup…software & physical opened up new understandings and file transfer bit was great also. I was intuitively modelling as I read and got some bits right…as I read further.
It did feel at one point, where the burn mark (crescent/oval) was still not optimum, but was acceptable as there were bigger fish to fry…at that time.
Can a Gaussian be applied to Z axis over pulse duration as well as across xy…if that makes sense?
I will study pulse between pulse…and also (MOPA).
Thanks.
