of or relating to Karl Gauss or his mathematical theories of magnetics or electricity or astronomy or probability; "Gaussian distribution"
A system whose probabilities are well described by the normal distribution, or bell shaped curve
The normal curve, or normal distribution, an example of which is the symmetrical bell shape of the holes created by the uncorrected, unfocused laser beam in its optimum mode A Gaussian laser beam has most of its energy in the center
The normal distribution curve for a random variable (i e , the bell-shaped curve) If the microfacet slope of a surface is normally distributed, it is said to be a Gaussian surface (See also roughness )
The bell-shaped curve that represents the normal distribution of a large number of possible events
This is a profile of how excimer energy is applied Used primarily on flying spot lasers, more energy is applied to the center of the spot than at the outer edges
