Abstract

A novel method for power-in-the-bucket (PIB) measurement of high power laser beams is proposed. The laser beam spot was first sampled by a rotating involute pinhole array and then collected by using a photodetector placed behind the pinholes. The spatial-temporal distribution and calibrated PIB curve of the laser beam can be obtained. The spatial and temporal resolution is 20 µm and 5ms, respectively. Compared with conventional methods, the proposed measurement method is simple, convenient, and accurate, which is suitable for high power laser beams with jitter.
