I need to convert some laser power specs. For the sake of convenience, let's say I have a 1 Watt 445nm laser irradiating exactly 1 square centimeter.
Question 1: Does this represent, properly, 1W/cm^2 ?
Question 2: if Q1 is correct, how would I convert that to joules per cm^2?
If Q1 is incorrect in assumption, how do I figure irradiance per cm^2 based on my measured output power in mW?
Much appreciated! Thanks,
Dave
