Preferred Label : continuous wave (CW) laser;
IUPAC acronym : CW;
IUPAC definition : CW operation of a laser means that the laser is continuously pumped and continuously
emits electromagnetic radiation. The emission can occur in a single cavity mode or
on multiple modes.;
Scope note : some lasers are called cw mode-locked. this indicates that the pulse average power
is constant, i.e., there is no q-switched mode locking.;
