In the first embodiment, the laser 100 emits a laser pulse beam with a certain wavelength, and after the laser pulse beam is expanded by the optical path beam expanding system 200, the laser pulse beam is transmitted by the optical path adjusting device 300 and irradiated into the CCD/CMOS photosensitive device 600 along the horizontal direction, so as to ensure that the laser field has a certain transmission distance. The light intensity attenuator 400 is placed in front of the CCD/CMOS photosensitive device 600 to prevent the CCD/CMOS photosensitive device 600 from saturation. The exposure time of the CCD/CMOS photosensitive device 600 is fixed and as much as possible the same as the pulse duration, the shutter control circuit controls the shutter 500 to be opened when the laser pulse enters the CCD/CMOS photosensitive device 600, and the shutter control circuit is closed when the laser pulse completely enters the CCD/CMOS photosensitive device 600, so that the CCD/CMOS photosensitive device 600 accumulates the whole energy of the laser pulse in a single period, and any pixel point in the image respectively corresponds to a certain position in the light field range, thereby realizing the measurement of the energy uniformity of the remote laser light field.

The CCD/CMOS photosensitive device 600 is a high-responsivity, high-sensitivity photodetection device. The shutter 500 can be triggered by internal circuitry or by external circuitry; meanwhile, the CCD/CMOS photosensitive device 600 has basic functions of adjusting exposure time (automatic/manual), shutter delay (automatic/manual), delay step length (automatic/manual), photosensitive gain and the like. The shutter control circuit controls the shutter 500 to be rapidly opened and closed.

The output light path of the laser 100 passes through the light path beam expanding system 200, the light path adjusting device 300 and the light intensity attenuator 400 and then coincides with the central axis of the photosensitive area of the CCD/CMOS photosensitive device 600. The optical path beam expanding system 200 and the optical intensity attenuator 400 are selected according to specific application.

The laser 100 is a pulsed laser.
