Abstract

Linearity of laser energy measuring is necessary for high laser power facility used for Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) approach because of power balance among beams. Due to large dynamic range and high sensitivity, pyro electric detector is the only option. However, the linearity of the measuring is hard to obtain d ue to high responding speed and response ration’s variation. Therefore, in this paper, the temporal characteristics of pyro electric detectors to laser pulse, sensitivity ratio’s variance to different energy are studied. RC filtering and high speed AD are adopted to shield the electr o magnetic interference and to capture the real amplitude of the output curve, respectively . Least square fit ting is introduced to correct the response ration’s variation. The experimental resul ts show that, by correcting the factors leading to nonlinearity in the measuring, a linearity of 9 9.26 % is obtained @5 mJ~ 350 m J with a measuring sensitivity of no less than 1 m V/mJ. And they perform well at Pre Amplifier Diagnostics Package in SG III facility..
