3D nanosecond pulsed laser simulation on comsol v4

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

please i want to add 3D nanosecond laser to COMSOL v4, and i want to have its irradiation curve like a gaussian pulse.

Thanks

The density of the energy distribution can be modeled by a Gaussian, if that is what you need.
You can use Q = const*z*exp(-(z+z0-c*t)^2/sigz^2)*exp(-r^2/sigr^2)
Where the constant = 2*c*(energy deposited by single bunch)/(pi*sqrt(pi0*sigz*sigr^2*target thickness)
For energy distributed through entire depth of target

Pulse duration: 10 ns
Intensity: 10 W/cm^2

For the given parameters and 2-D cylindrical geometry, how can I write a heat source equation?

P.s: For now, I have just used (I0*a), where I0 is intensity and a is the absorption coefficient of the related domain. I am looking for temporal and spatial parts of this source term: I0*a*(temporal term)*(spatial term).

Thanks

The Gaussian I gave you will have units of W/m^3 so that is not applicable in this case.What exactly do you want the pulse to do?
