*Knowing <math>\mathrm\omega_{0}</math> also allows us to calculate  the theoretical fluence of the beam. Assuming maximum power of 220mJ over a 1.49mm x 0.552mm area yields <math>26J/cm^2.</math> Which is above the <math>14J/cm^2.</math> threshold value cited by Brookhaven National Laboratories who were conducting diamond ablation experiments with a 213nm Nd:YAG laser (213nm with the use of a 4 + 1 frequency mixing crystal). Our ArF excimer laser produces 193nm light that will be more readily absorbed by the surface of the diamond as diamond is opaque to wavelengths above the band gap. These calculations provide a level of confidence that we theoretically be able to ablate.
