Science - Physics / système d\\\'émission d\\\'un | | French term or phrase: mettre en cascade | Hi,
"Cette solution permet de dissocier et de mettre en cascade, d'une part, la formation d'une lumière laser monochromatique ou quasi monochromatique, issue de la cavité laser pompée et, d'autre part, l'étalement de son spectre grâce à l'utilisation de l'élément non linéaire que constituent les moyens de guidage de la lumière."
Thank you |

| | (to) cascade | Explanation:
It's not particularly good English to turn a noun into a verb, but in patents, anything goes! I might, for example, cascade the stages of an amplifier or I might even cascade a series of pumps in a particularly deep well. Although strictly speaking, you can't cascade the abstract noun "formation", I doubt whether anyone would notice (!). You may need to re-jig the whole sentence to make it sound nice. |
