Abstract
A laser assembly is provided that includes a laser resonator that emits a first light having a first pulse width, and a trigger assembly electrically coupled to the laser resonator to actuate the laser resonator. The laser assembly also includes a sensor configured to detect the first light as the light emits from the laser resonator, and one or more processors coupled to the trigger assembly. The one or more processors are configured to obtain a first time delay interval from when the trigger assembly is actuated to when the sensor detects the first light, and actuate the laser resonator to emit a second light having a second pulse width based on the time delay interval determined.
