The fluence is the energy of a laser pulse divided by the area it is illuminating, and for historical reasons is the general term of choice when describing LA-ICP-MS conditions. 0000038359 00000 n /Pages 10 0 R This quantity is typically measured using an energy meter. 0000003737 00000 n stream The standard unit is called a watt (W).

Detailed knowledge of the physical essence of femtosecond laser and Ni3Al interactions is of great significance for the effective processing of film-c… Thus, the power tells you how quickly the energy is delivered and usually provides more of an idea as to how much impact the laser pulse will have. U.S. Laser Corporation Puls. 0000061400 00000 n xref There is no special unit for irradiance, and we simply use the explicit term: W/mThe fluence is the energy of a laser pulse divided by the area it is illuminating, and for historical reasons is the general term of choice when describing LA-ICP-MS conditions. 12 15 Knowing this is helpful, but it does not explain how the energy is distributed in space.

Fluence = Energy/Area."

It is most commonly used in laser applications when the pulse duration is constant and well known, as with an excimer laser which typically produces pulses of 5-20ns in duration, depending on the model and manufacturer. 0000000017 00000 n <<

The energy can be measured with an energy meter, or is given by the manufacturer or their software. <<

It is very common for laser manufacturers to quote the total energy per pulse, however keep in mind that this number is not the same as the energy reaching the sample.The power is the energy of the pulse divided by the duration.

Be cautious, however, as internal energy meters can drift over time or change response due to thermal fluctuations. /MediaBox [0 0 612 792]

Laser Properties and Parameters When working with lasers, there are a few definitions that need to be clearly understood. /T 93599 << The average power will be the total energy of all pulses emitted in 1 second, thus: Average Power = Energy Per Pulse × Pulses Per Second.When the power is divided by the area on which is it distributed, then we get the irradiance. %%EOF The LDT calculator should not be substituted for direct LIDT testing of optics utilized in a given application where laser damage is a crucial parameter. >> 0000001232 00000 n Here is a short glossary of commonly used terms, along with their Measured in joules (J) the energy of a laser pulse is, by itself, not typically a very helpful quantity to know, since it is also important to know how the energy is distributed in both time and space.
