Table 2. Parameters of laser pulse trains employed for psychophysical tests. Definitions: GBS – grating-based pulse stretcher; FBS – fiber-based pulse stretcher; τ – pulse duration at full width at half maximum; PRF – pulse repetition frequency; δ – duty cycle; λc – central wavelength, the fiber length is indicated; Δλ – spectral full width at half maximum; D – beam diameter (1/e2) at the pupil plane (for elliptical beams, both axis sizes are provided); N – number of tested subjects.
