Fluence definition

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


The function Epulse is defined as :


Epulse=Pf

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

The fluence is therefore determinate as such :


Fluence=EpulseS

The theoretical spot sizes (S) can be found here
