.
Product of the average
pulse energy Q and the
pulse repetition rate.
Maximum of the power-time
function.
Time between the half peak
power points at the leading
and trailing edges of the
pulse.
Same as above except at

Ratio of the energy of a
single laser photon to the
energy of a single pumping
photon.
