Abstract

PURPOSE:To condense projected laser lights in a small spot diameter, and to control laser outputs precisely at high speed by fitting a condenser lens to an output port for an integrating sphere and arranging the light-receiving surface, a diameter thereof is reduced, of a micro-laser detector near the position of the focal point of the condenser lens. CONSTITUTION:A lens, through which infrared rays having a 10.6mum wavelength are transmitted and which consists of a material, such as ZnSe, GaAs, KCl, etc., is used in a carbon dioxide gas laser as a condenser lens 16. The diameter of a light-receiving surface is reduced in order to increase the speed of response in a micro-laser detector 12, and the light-receiving surface is disposed so as to be positioned near the position of the focal point of the condenser lens 16. Accordingly, even when the diameter of the light-receiving surface of the micro-laser detector 12 is minimized, the quantity of light of laser lights corresponding to the aperture of the condenser lens 16 is projected to the light-receiving surface, the shortage of the quantity of light projected to the micro-laser detector 12 can be eliminated, and the response speed of the micro-laser detector 12 can be increased.

As explained above, in this invention, the laser beam is focused by a condensing lens installed on the exit boat of the integrating sphere so that it enters the micro laser detector. Even if the size is small, a sufficient amount of laser light can be incident on the tv, so the response speed of the micro laser detector becomes the reading speed, and the laser output can be accurately controlled at the full speed. Furthermore, there is also an effect that can be adjusted by changing the effective aperture of the $C attenuation t lens of the laser beam for the two minute laser detections.
