LIDT Pulse-Scaling calculator
Scale a damage threshold from one pulse width to another via √τ.
Category: Laser & Ultrafast
Formula: F2 = F1 · √(τ2/τ1)
Inputs
| Input | Parameter | Unit | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spec fluence (J/cm²) | F1 | 10 | |
| Spec τ | t1 | ns | 10 |
| Your τ | t2 | ns | 0.00015 |
Result with the default inputs
- Scaled LIDT: 0.0387 J/cm²
Open it with your own values: put each input in the address as a parameter, for example /calculators/lidt-pulse-scaling?F1=10. A unit other than the listed one goes in <parameter>_unit.
