Based on the pump power, the laser emission is a “threshold” process, i.e. the laser action
only starts from a certain pump power value and consequently laser diode power supply
current value. When the range of the laser diode power supply current is established
(maximum value set by the manufacturer), the progress of the power emitted at the
Resonator output for the Megalight™ source is shown in the following graph: normally, there is
laser action around 45% and 100% of the maximum power supply current value (threshold).
