We report the results of the first laser high-power measurement comparison between the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB, Germany), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, USA). Laser power transfer standards were calibrated at both national standards laboratories between 82 W and 127 W at 1.06 µm and between 85 W and 554 W at 10.6 µm. Relative agreement between the standards of the two laboratories was demonstrated to lie between 5 10 -3 and 7 10 -3 , which is well within the combined uncertainties.
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.
