1W Lasers

What are 1W Lasers?

1W Lasers are any laser that designates 1W of average output power, having either CW (continuous-wave) or pulsed output. CW Lasers are always defined in average output power. Pulsed Lasers with an output power defined in Watts or Milliwatts usually define the laser’s average power, not the peak power of the laser.

Lasers with 1W output can also be referred to as 1000mW lasers – these terms are interchangeable.
