Measurement of the light beam during treatment is called which term?

Explanation:
Spot size describes the diameter of the laser beam as it contacts the skin, i.e., how large the treatment footprint is per pulse. This measurement matters because it determines how much tissue is treated at once and interacts with fluence (the energy delivered per unit area). For a given pulse energy, a larger spot size lowers fluence, changing tissue response and treatment speed. The other terms refer to properties of the light (coherence, wavelength) or to energy density, not the beam’s size.
