UV Laser parameters

Please share your laser parameters with the group. It doesn't matter if you have different parameters for a material that is posted already, the parameters differ quite a lot depending on the optimization goal: A parameter set that gives fast and clean cuts through silicon might be unfeasable for hatching.
