Netalux Needle 500 Laser Cleaning Parameters
MOPA (Master Oscillator Power Amplifier). Independently adjustable pulse width (2–500 ns) and frequency (1–4000 kHz). High frequency flexibility; pulse energy per pulse is lower than Q-switched at equivalent average power.
Derived Parameters
| Fluence at 2 mm spot | 7.96 J/cm² |
| Fluence at 5 mm spot | 1.27 J/cm² |
| Overlap (cleaning) | 60–80% |
Field spot diameter varies by scan head — 2 mm and 5 mm are representative values for handheld cleaning heads.
Derived from manufacturer pulse energy data. Spot size varies by scan head — validate against your calibration.
