Experience with calibration procedures for LIPP test set-up, using solid calibration specimens

This paper describes the short and the long term behaviour of two different materials that have been suggested for calibration of space charge measuring systems. Two different space charge measuring systems were planned to be used for the investigation; more specifically, the laser induced pressure pulse (LIPP) system and the pulsed electroacoustic (PEA) system. The material used for the calibration test was 100 /spl mu/m thick corona charged PET (Mylar) film. It was concluded that such film is unlikely to be useful for calibration purposes.
