correspondingly, the light spot percentage will be lower and the laser power attenuation will be

higher, to achieve the same depth of scanning, the laser power should be higher. The purpose to

select the special mode is to make the laser to emit beams at high power and in short period,

during deep scanning, the effect of flat bottom can be achieved, however,

if the light spots are improperly ad%usted, this effect may not be achieved and the working mode of
