Abstract

We introduce a beam profiler of pulsed lasers based on the photoacoustic technique. The method assumes that the initial pressure distribution inside the acoustic cell follows the laser intensity pattern if absorbed energy relaxes rapidly. This initial pressure condition can be described as a superposition of acoustic modes of different amplitudes and phases. We analyze how to reconstruct the intensity profile of the laser beam from the recorded acoustic signals. Finally, we present preliminary results obtained with a frequency doubled Nd:YAG laser that excites NO(2)-CF(2)Cl(2) mixtures.
