A LIQUID CALORIMETER FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF LASER ENERGY.

Abstract

A liquid calorimeter for the measurement of laser output energy is described. The laser energy is absorbed in a 5.9% by weight aqueous solution of nickel sulphate. The instrument is designed to function over the range 10 to 300 joules. By optimising the concentration of the liquid solution an accuracy of plus or minus 5% should be possible. (Author)
