ABSTRACT:
A laser power meter and associated method are disclosed. The laser power meter has an absorber that is placed in a path of a laser beam during a power measurement, a temperature sensor for measuring the temperature of the absorber, a differentiator for determining a rate of change of the temperature of the absorber, and a processor that computes an estimated power of the laser beam based on the temperature and its rate of change without considering power related loss effects and then computes the power of the laser beam based on the estimated power and the temperature and its rate of change.
