light pulse
Brief luminous signal
A light pulse is a brief, discrete burst of electromagnetic radiation—a flash of light with a defined beginning and end.
In physics and telecommunications, light pulses carry information through fiber optic cables, where data is encoded in rapid sequences of pulses.
Laser pulses can be extremely short, measured in femtoseconds or attoseconds, enabling precision measurements and medical procedures: The laser delivers light pulses to break up kidney stones.
