All-Optical Method of Determining Laser Power from the Photomechanical Effect

A method to determine the power of a continuous wave laser from photothermal heating of a poly(dimethyl siloxane) film is reported. The base was doped with oil red O and cured on a surface relief grating. The grating period was shown to increase proportional to the temperature by monitoring the decr...
