Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A novel measurement technique of infrared laser beam profile using thermally excited carriers in semiconductor image sensor has been proposed and demonstrated. A mid-infrared laser beam from a carbon dioxide laser with known radiant power and beam size are locally irradiated on sensitive area of a silicon-based image sensor. Thermally excited carriers are detected by corresponding pixels and compose a beam spot-like image. Ratio of 1/e2 diameters between incident laser and detected signals among different size of incident laser beam showed their good correlation. The result shows a strong potential of this proposed method as a new measurement technique for infrared laser beam.
