7500w pulse laser diode?

[deltawars]

I have a question about laser diodes, i found this laser diode Link:" Lasertel > Products > S14 - QCW Laser Diode ", it is Pulsed and the Total Array Output Peak Power is 7500W at 330A, does this mean the laser output it 7500w and if so how long would it last for, long enough to do some damage to a piece of wood?

It's a Quasi continous wave diode. Which you can read about how they work here - Encyclopedia of Laser Physics and Technology - quasi-continuous-wave operation, laser, quasi-cw, heat capacity laser

These are not something id consider toying with if you manage to get one. They could certainly do much more than burn a piece of wood.
