Understanding Laser Pulse Energy

Laser pulse energy is the total amount of energy delivered by a laser pulse over a specific duration. It's calculated by multiplying the laser power by the pulse duration.

Practical Applications

This calculator is useful for:

  • Designing laser systems for various applications
  • Calculating the energy requirements for laser cutting, welding, and engraving
  • Understanding the energy parameters in scientific research
  • Comparing different laser systems based on their energy output

Example Calculation

For a laser with a power of 500W and a pulse duration of 0.001 seconds (1 millisecond), the pulse energy would be:

Energy = 500W × 0.001s = 0.5 Joules
