Popis: Radiation pressure has recently been shown to have practical application for multi-kilowatt laser power measurement. One key advantage lies in its ability to measure without absorbing the laser beam. This enables a new measurement paradigm where laser power can be measured traceable to the SI without perturbing the beam. Combining this measurement scheme with a laser constitutes a “traceable source” where laser output power is traceable to the SI in real time. This greatly simplifies the calibration process for multi-kilowatt laser power meters and yields a path to high-accuracy laser-based material processing.
