A Flat Top laser beam can be described as a zone in which the irradiance, or radiance, is constant, quickly followed by a sharp fall to zero level at the edges of the zone. Thus, the energy of the Flat Top laser, when it comes to a focus, is said to be confined to a specific area.
This radiative behavior is optimal for almost all industrial processes involving a laser. For instance, a surgeon using a laser to treat human tissue needs to limit the affected area as much as possible. The same applies to materials processing with lasers where...

History:
Python has been around for more than 28 years. It’s an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language.
Even though it is one of the oldest programming languages, It hasn’t been particularly popular amongst the developer communities until recently.
Why wasn’t it popular?
The singular factor behind its “Non Popularity” has been its speed. Ask any student/beginner to choose between Python and ‘Java or C’, nine out of ten students will choose the later due to the speed factor & their theoretical knowledge.
The difference in speed is because Python is interpreted and Java is compiled.
