1. In lasers, the number of pulses that occur each second.
2. In radar, the number of pulses that occur each second. Pulse repetition frequency should not be confused with transmission frequency, which is determined by the rate at which cycles are repeated within the transmitted pulse. Also called PRF. See also laser.

At 636 pages for about 30 [euro], it will explain, for example, what the French call 'low pulse repetition frequency radar'.
Since only moderate pulse energies are needed to drill small holes in nonreinforced polymers (indeed, high pulse energies can damage materials), higher laser power is best utilized by increasing the laser's pulse repetition frequency (PRF).
04" to 480" range in steel combined with a 15 to 2,000 pulse repetition frequency (PRF) covers a wide range of applications without incurring acoustic wrap around.
