For pulse lasers, thers are two parameters describing its output power.
One is "the average power",which equals to the product of the energy of single pulse and the pulse repetition rate(per.second.);
the other is "the peak power", which is defined as the ratio of the energy of single puse to pulse duration.
My question: When we want to get the values of "power density(w/cm2)",
which power value( "the average power" value or "the peak power" value )should be used as the output power in the calculation?
