Except in the case of a ruby laser excitation where a train of picosecond-type pulses is used, the incident energy dose required to achieve polymerization is in the range of a few mJ (or even less) and is almost independent of the time profile of the excitation (1 intense light pulse of 8 or 20 ns duration or a [10.
