The three YAG lasers were (1) a picosecond TEMoo, mode locked, ten-degree cone angle; (2) a nanosecond TEMoo, Q-switched, 16-degree cone angle, delivering the energy in five nanoseconds per pulse; and (3) a Q-switched,15-degree cone angle, closer to multimode than TEMoo, delivering energy in 14 nanoseconds per pulse.
