what is laser pulse shaping?

[jjoll]

And how can I change the pulse shaping in a laser machine independent of machine itself. Meaning that I do have a laser machine that doesn't allow me to vary laser pulse shaping, can I use any kind of mirror to connect to it in order to change the pulse shaping?

thanks

okay thanks, but what actually is pulse shaping? I read that is act of changing waveform and pulse of a laser shape to another shape, but why is that needed? and how this affects characteristics of our laser?
thanks

Wrong forum; although Laser sailors do like to pulse through the water, legally or illegally.

This could be some new phrase that a guru coined to describe sailing by the lee. Kinda like The Rooster and his 4th Dimension.

"I was laser pulse shaping when I got hit by a gust and then I death rolled. I had been knocked into the 4th Dimension by the boom."

Check the Urban dictionary it might be in there.
