Abstract
Laser power and energy measurements are commonly made in calorimeters operating in a constant temperature environment. Calorimeters of this type are analyzed in terms of the first law of thermodynamics and the boundary value problem describing heat flow in the calorimeter. This theory of the measurement suggests design features of the calorimeter, sources of error to be avoided in design and operation, and tests to demonstrate experimentally the adequacy of the design. The analysis shows how time—temperature data can be used to allow for the temperature gradient on the calorimeter and the heat exchange due to transients in the temperature.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
