Here t is the duration for which B is applied, also called the pulse length.

The magnitude of the distortion is expressed as a percentage of an ideal pulse length.

If pulse length is kept below the critical, the discharge operates in a stable fashion indefinitely.

In this situation, the measured dead zone will depend on a combination of the pulse length (see table).

It was the smallest spot size and shortest pulse length ever achieved at that intensity.

The pulse length can vary from 0.4 to 2.5 microseconds and its peak power is 350 kW.

In a "high mode," the pulse length is increased, usually to 100 m or greater.

Using a longer pulse length increases the depth of the sample volume and thus decreases the vertical resolution in the data.

This is accomplished through a relaxation between pulse length and maximum altitude.

More than 27,000 pulses later the current has increased by 400 times and the pulse length by 600 times.
