The optogalvanic effect as a power detector for high-power, fast-transverse-flow CO2 lasers

In this work, a new method for measuring the power of light beams generated by fast-tranverse-flow CO2 lasers is presented. It consists in measuring the temperature of the gas before and after the discharge zone under the conditions when the output mirror of the optical cavity is blocked or not. The...
