I calculated joules per first assumption below.

I am unclear if the study was:

  1. 514 nm, 100 mW/cm^2, 50 s, 25.7 J
  2. 633 nm, 25 mW/cm^2, 300 s 7.5 J

or it was

  1. 514 nm, 100 mW/cm^2, 50 s, 5 J
  2. 514 nm, 25 mW/cm^2, 50 s, 1.2 J
  3. 633 nm, 100 mW/cm^2, 50 s, 5 J
  4. 633 nm, 25 mW/cm^2, 50 s, 1.2 J
