Abstract

This device comprises at least three pulsed lasers (2, 4, 6), in order to supply light pulses, and means (14) for directing these pulses substantially onto the same spot of a target (16) and substantially at the same time onto this spot. The lasers are pumped by diodes (40) operating continuously.
