Fluence definition

The fluence produces by a laser is, by definition, the energy delivered by a laser pulse ($E_{pulse}$) per surface unit ($S$) and it is given in J/cm2.

The function $E_{pulse}$ is defined as :

$E_{pulse}={\frac {\overline {P}}{f}}\,$

Where ${\overline {P}}$ (average power) is measured with the laser sensor power measurement (see manual,section 5.3) and the repetion rate ($f$) is set in the parameter file under " laser frequency".

The fluence is therefore determinated as such :

$Fluence={\frac {E_{pulse}}{S}}\,$

The theoretical spot sizes ($S$) can be found here
