of a pulsed laser
unit: Hz
synonym: pulse frequency
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.08540
Number of laser pulses emitted by a pulsed laser system per unit time.
Notes:
  1. For laser systems with pulse duration in the nanosecond regime repetition rates range from 1 Hz to 20 Hz, whereas for femtosecond laser systems increased repetition rates up to 1000 Hz are possible.
  2. SI unit: Hz.
