CW single probe 500mW example<br />

If we assume that the laser beam emanates<br />

directly from the outlet with a diameter of<br />

1 mm² (beam size) in the CW single probe,<br />

then the power density at maximum power<br />

is 500 mW / mm².<br />

If we now assume that the irradiated surface<br />

area is 1 cm 2 , the power density is only<br />

0.005 W / cm 2 .<br />

General formulae<br />

Power density<br />

(W / cm 2 )<br />

Pre-set values<br />

Power output = 500 mW<br />

= average power<br />

output / beam size<br />

Calculation of power density on 1 cm²<br />

Power density<br />

(W / cm 2 )<br />

= 500 mW / mm 2<br />

= 0.5 W / 0,01 cm 2<br />

= 0.005 W / cm 2<br />

The CW single probe 500mW<br />

If you want to irradiate this 1 cm 2 surface<br />

area with 4 Joule of energy, you will need<br />

13 minutes and 20 seconds of treatment<br />

time.<br />

General formulae<br />

Energy density<br />

(J / cm 2 )<br />

Pre-set values<br />

Power output = 500 mW<br />

= power density x time<br />

Energy = 4 J<br />

(treatment time)<br />

Calculation of treatment time on 1 cm²<br />

T = energy density / power density<br />

= 4 J / cm 2 / 0.005 W /cm 2<br />

= 800 s<br />

= 13 minutes + 20 seconds<br />
