Gaussian Curve In laser engraving, a Gaussian curve, also known as a Gaussian distribution or bell curve, represents the intensity profile of the laser beam across its cross-section. The curve is characterized by a symmetrical shape with a peak intensity at the center and gradually decreasing intensity towards the edges. Gaussian curves are commonly used to describe the spatial distribution of laser energy, guiding the design and optimization of engraving processes to achieve uniform and consistent material processing. |
