Q-spoiling
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Inflected forms:
Senses:
gloss: Synonym of Q-switching.
pos: noun
tags: uncountable
examples: For our problem the breakin gof the caustics removes the bound on the fluctuations in sin χ and allows the classical escape process and Q-spoiling of the WG modes.
Second, as mentioned above, hidden modes with low φ (i.e., low mode order) can become observable with small amounts of Q-spoiling.
The significant Q-spoiling observed is in part due to the refractive loss in the contact area between the QW sample and the sphere since the QW sample has an index of refraction greater than that of the fused silica microsphere and is also in part due to the scattering loss occurring in the contact area.

gloss: The process of Q-switching.
pos: noun
tags: countable

examples: Also, the appearance of Q-switch and ultra-short pulse technology made the peak power improve greatly, and the efficiency of doubling reached 70-80%.
The general temporal evolution of the Q-switch is sketched in Fig. 4.2 for the case of an active Q-switch that acts on the internal cavity losses Λ.
We see that the timer/controller contains a 10 Hz laser Q-switch signal repeated each 100 ms (the Q-switch pulse width is 100 μs, and the lasar pulse with is 10 ns).
gloss: To use a Q-switch on (a laser).
pos: verb
tags: transitive
examples: A variety of methods are available to Q-switch a fiber laser. Most of them are adaptations of those used to Q-switch bulk lasers.
The ability to Q-switch this laser results in fast, intense pulses of red light that cannot be generated by other means.
In order to Q-switch an unpolarized laser system, such as Nd:YAG, the lower of the efficiency factors of a longitudinal device determines the extinction ratio of the device.

By properly choosing the parameters, the diffracted beam can be deflected out of the laser resonant cavity, thereby providing an energy loss which is sufficient to Q-spoil the cavity.

Ultra-processed products are made from processed substances extracted or refined from whole foods – e.g. oils, hydrogenated oils and fats, flours and starches, variants of sugar, and cheap parts or remnants of animal foods – with little or no whole foods. Products include burgers, […] pasta dishes, nuggets […] crisps, biscuits, confectionery […] sugared drinks, […] snack products. Most are made […] by large or transnational corporations and are very durable, palatable, and ready to consume, which is an enormous commercial advantage […] [They] are typically energy dense; have a high glycaemic load; are low in dietary fibre, micronutrients, and phytochemicals; and are high in unhealthy types of dietary fat, free sugars, and sodium.
“Ultra-processed” foods, made in factories with ingredients unknown to the domestic kitchen, may be linked to cancer, according to a large and groundbreaking study.
In other words, we’re eating too much. We may also be eating the wrong kinds of foods, the study also suggests. In a sub-analysis of the diets of some of the groups from both highly and less-developed nations, the scientists found a strong correlation between the percentage of daily diets that consists of “ultra-processed foods” — which the study’s authors define as “industrial formulations of five or more ingredients” — and higher body-fat percentages.
