IF more than one attribute column has data then both of those conditions need to be satisifed (Nd Q switched = 10W max average and 20J to 50J max peak)

IF only one attribute column has data then that attribute alone is the controling attribute (nd Q switched = 50J max peak)

IF two entries exist for the same laser type then both entries are (A and B) are limiting attributes for those items.
