The method of simultaneous measurement of energy and forms of the radiation pulse of the powerful CO/sub 2/ laser

Recently, work aimed at the study of laser-emissive discharges has caused great interest. The target is represented by a resistance (R) ant it plus either the electrods introduced into the chamber or the walls of the chamber form an electric circuit. The e.m.f. of the circuit arises from plasma formation created at the target under the action of the electromagnetic radiation.
