Abstract
We show that the photoacoustic signals generated at the high reflection mir ror of a pulsed laser depend linearly on the output energy. This allows us to measure acoustically the output energy, the tuning range, and the optimu m temperature and concentration of a dye laser, with the advantage that the re is no interference of the output beam, as is the case with optical measu rements.
