Preferred Label : free-running laser;
IUPAC definition : A term applied to a pulsed laser, meaning that the laser emission lasts as long as
the pumping process is sufficient to sustain lasing conditions. Typical pulse durations
are in the µs-ms range, depending on the pumping source. When the operation mode of
a pulsed laser is not specified as mode-locked, Q-switched, or anything else, it must
be considered as free-running.;
