Conclusion In the device described, a semiconductor diode is used as the radiant energy receiver. Although the photoelectric method is not absolute, practice shows that instruments based on it can be used successfully for measuring the energy of laser radiation pulses when calibrating these devices by means of calorimeters, bolometers, etc. An operating test of the device described for measuring the energy of laser radiation pulses showed its high sensitivity stability. The great advantage of the photoelectric method is the high rate of repetition of the measurements, which is unattainable by the use of calorimetric methods. The use of two channels of different sensitivity for measuring the energy of radiation of one wavelength makes it possible to extend the dynamic range. The number of measurement channels in principle can be even greater than two, which extends the possibility for its use in controlling the energy characteristics of a laser.
