If we combine the FPS-1 measurement with a measurement of the total energy of the pulse using an Ophir energy meter we can do it.<\/p>\n<p>How exactly?<\/p>\n<p>*In the trace below let us say the total energy measured is 10mJ.<\/p>\n<p>We can use this knowledge to find how many watts each \u201carbitrary unit\u201d is equal to:<br \/>\na) Sum the reading values in A.U. = total 268 A.U.<br \/>\nb) Find the approximate area under the trace by multiplying the sum by the step size, 268 * 0.1 ms = 26.8 A.U\u00b7ms<br \/>\nc) Energy = 10mJ = 26.8 A.U.\u00b7ms<br \/>\nd) Therefore 1 A.U. = 10mJ \/ 26.8ms = 0.373W<\/p>\n<p>The peak power on the graph is 55 in A.U., so to convert to watts, we simply multiply by 0.373W\/A.U. to get 20.5W.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/how-to-calculate-it2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7518 lazyload\" data-src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/how-to-calculate-it2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"349\" height=\"218\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ophiropt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/how-to-calculate-it2.jpg 573w, https:\/\/www.ophiropt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/how-to-calculate-it2-300x187.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 349px) 100vw, 349px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 349px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 349\/218;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you always wanted to learn how to measure the real pulse temporal shape of your laser \u2013 and use [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7520,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[64],"ophirposttype":[349],"class_list":["post-7516","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-laser-power-energy-measurement","tag-pulsed","ophirposttype-blogpost-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Peak Power Vs.
