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...

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. Then, using a simple thermodynamic model, the emitted power is obtained. The method was tested in a continuous CO2 laser of the convective cooling type by transverse flow that can deliver a power up to 2 kW. The measured power agreed very well with that obtained with a commercial detector based on an absorbing material. En este trabajo se presenta un nuevo método para medir la potencia de haces de luz generada por láseres de CO2 de flujo rápido transversal. Éste consiste en la medición de la temperatura del gas antes y después de la zona de descarga en las condiciones cuando el espejo de salida de la cavidad óptica se encuentra o no bloqueado. Luego, usando un modelo termodinámico sencillo, se obtiene la potencia emitida. El método fue probado en un láser de CO2 continuo del tipo de enfriamiento convectivo por flujo transversal que puede entregar hasta 2 kW. La potencia medida concordó muy bien con aquella obtenida con un detector comercial basado en un material absorbente. application/pdf text/html https://elektron.fi.uba.ar/elektron/article/view/40 10.37537/rev.elektron.2.1.40.2018 spa FIUBA https://elektron.fi.uba.ar/elektron/article/view/40/37 https://elektron.fi.uba.ar/elektron/article/view/40/148 Derechos de autor 2018 Guillermo Daniel Santiago Elektron Journal; Vol. 2 No. 1 (2018); 12-15 Revista Elektron; Vol. 2 Núm. 1 (2018); 12-15 Revista Elektron; v. 2 n. 1 (2018); 12-15 2525-0159 2525-0159 CO2 laser high power fast transverse flow Laser CO2 alta potencia flujo rápido transversal The optogalvanic effect as a power detector for high-power, fast-transverse-flow CO2 lasers El efecto optogalvánico como detector de la potencia irradiada por láseres de CO2 de alta potencia de flujo rápido transversal info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=elektron&d=40_oai
