On the method of calculating the energy density of laser radiation in a metal surface modification
Abstract Today, modification of metal surfaces using laser radiation (laser ablation) is one of the most common processing methods in various scientific studies. At the same time, there is no unified approach to estimating the energy of laser radiation impact on the metal surface, which significantly complicates the comparison of the results of studies performed at different parameters of laser radiation. In the present work, a universal method of calculating the energy density of laser radiation impact on the surface is presented. The formation of relief with identical geometric characteristics at different parameters of laser radiation, but with the same energy density of radiation effect on the surface being modified, was experimentally confirmed.
