Abstract:
1. A method for generating a fiber laser beam output for a laser beam delivery system, the method comprising the steps of: generating a plurality of sequences of laser beam pulses from a fiber laser wherein each pulse of each sequence of pulses being of a single predetermined wavelength and the pulses of each sequence of pulses are separated by a corresponding repetition interval, and combining the plurality of sequences of laser beam pulses into at least one pulse stack output of the single predetermined wavelength that includes a laser beam pulse from each sequence of laser beam pulses and an inter-stack interval between sequential pulse stacks and an inter-pulse interval between the pulses of each pulse stack is determined by an initial firing time and a repetition rate of the pulses of each sequence of pulses; wherein the step of generating a plurality of sequences of laser beam pulses includes the steps of:
