Principles and detailed procedures are described for measuring la se r energy and power in terms of e lectrica l e ne rgy based on voltage, resistance , and frequency standards. The construction of a sma ll isoperibol ca lorimetcr used for th e measurements is desc ribed. The ca lorimeter wi ll accommoda te 0.0] to 20.1 and 4 X 10 5 to I W cw and is limit ed to a maximum pul se intens it y of 0.1 .I/cm'. The s tandard deviation of comparison meas urements using two calorimeters and a beam s plitter is 0.08 percent when the s maller energy input is not less than 0. 3 1. The estimated limit s of sys temati c eITor for one ca lorim eter are ± 1.0 percent of the laser e ne rgy mea s ured by the calorimeter.Key words: Calorin1Ptry: la se r: lase r calorimetry: lase r energy measurement; lase r power measurement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
