Very high frequencies
"...production d'un rayonnement par battement de fréquences de deux faisceaux laser".
Is it correct to say "beating", as in "the beating of..."??
Thanks in advance!

I'm not personally familair with the term, particualrly in a context of lasers, but it does make sense.
I'd consider re-writing, though, to something like "beating togther two lasers of (slightly) differing frequencies" — the rest of your context may make it clearer whether this would be a viable somution or not; it relly all depends just how different the frequencies are, or whether they are so close, they're not really meant to be 'different' at all.

: But that would be 'fréquence de battement' / Fair enough — may well be technically true, but that's not what the source text is saying.

What I meant was radiation emitted at at the beat frequency. I should probably have posted as a discussion entry.
