Abstract
Method allows for modelling of the complex process of laser pulse energy distribution over flat work surface. The process of calculating the correct result does not use common lasing formulas but instead employs the mathematical model of matrix multiplication of three input matrices representing a pulse model, a line model, and a plane model. The pulse model represents the distribution of planar energy densities within the laser pulse. The line model represents the distribution of pulses within the line. The plane model represents the distribution of lines within the plane. Because mathematical model is implemented within a spreadsheet processor, its size can be adjusted as needed and it can be instantiated multiple times for simultaneous modelling of different input parameters.
