ABSTRACT:
A system for controlling the energy of radiation pulses. A detector monitors energy of the pulses and an optical shutter trims the radiation pulses after a suitable optical delay line. The accuracy of the control of the energy of the radiation pulses can be improved by matching a rate of response of the radiation detector to a rate of response of the optical shutter.
