The detector is capable of measuring the energy of single laser pulses with repetition frequencies up to the MHz range, adding the possibility to also measure the output power of cw-lasers. Moreover, the thermal nature of the sensor enables the capability to work in a broadband spectrum, from UV to THz as well as the possibility of operating in a broad-range (10-3-102 W/cm2 ) of incident average optical power densities of the laser radiation, without the need of adopting optical filters nor other precautions. |
