Measurement of the Laser Impulse Parameters of Gauss Beam with Thin-Wire Bolometers

Abstract

A method of measuring the laser impulse parameters of Gauss beam with three vertical and three horizontal thin-wire bolometers placed on the same beam profile – being some outside the main beam intensity – is argued. The method allows determining the coordinates of a beam energy centre, its root-mean square radius, the magnitude of an angle of a linear polarization direction and the laser energy. The measured radiation parameters have been analyzed metrologically.
