Flash Lamp A flash lamp, also known as a flash tube or xenon lamp, is a type of light source used in certain types of laser engraving systems, particularly in pulsed lasers. Flash lamps generate short, intense bursts of light when electrically triggered, which excite the gain medium within the laser cavity, leading to the emission of laser radiation. Flash lamps are commonly employed in Nd:YAG and ruby lasers for engraving applications that require high peak powers and precise pulse control. These lamps play a crucial role in initiating the lasing process and ensuring consistent laser performance. |
