A adaminc New Member Aug 19, 2009 #1 Hello all, I am trying to figure out what the fluence/strength of a laser will be when it hits the target area. Say the beam when it hits the target is 1cm^2. The laser is 5W, and the distance from target is about 1cm. Would it be safe to say that the fluence would then be about 5J/cm^2, since 5W = 5J/s? or at least relatively close to that?
