Can anyone tell how the intensity of lasers beams is measured. What equipment is used. Any relevant equations?
Measuring Laser Beam Intensity: Techniques and Equipment
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The intensity of laser beams is primarily measured using photodiodes, which convert light into an electrical current. This method is widely recognized for its accuracy and efficiency in quantifying laser output. Additionally, relevant equations for calculating intensity include the power per unit area formula, which is essential for understanding laser beam characteristics. Overall, photodiodes are the standard equipment for laser intensity measurement.
