EQUIPMENT FOR LASER RADIATION
FOREWORD
1) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters,
prepared by Technical Committees on which all the National Committees
having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly
as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the subjects
dealt with.
2)
They have the form of recommendations for international use and they
are accepted by the National Committees
in that sense.
3)
In order to promote international unification, the IEC expresses the
wish that all National Committees should adopt the text of the IEC
recommendation for their national rules in so far as national con-
ditions will permit. Any divergence between the IEC recommendation and
the corresponding national rules should, as far as possible, be clearly
indicated in the latter.
This standard has been prepared by IEC Technical Committee No. 76:
Laser equipment.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
Six Months' Report
Two Months' Report
Rule on Voting
Procedure on Voting
76(CO)14 76(CO)17
76(CO)18 76(CO)20
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be
found in the Voting Reports indicated in the above table.
The foIIo,aing IEC publications are quoted in this standard:
Publications Nos. 825 (1984): Radiation safety of laser products,
equipment classification, requirements and
user's guide.

use - Part 1: General requirements.

POWER AND ENERGY MEASURING
DETECTORS, INSTRUMENTS AND
EQUIPMENT FOR LASER RADIATION
1 Scope and object
This standard is applicable to instruments and equipment measuring the
laser radiant power and laser radiant energy in the optical spectral range
(with wavelength from 100 nm to 1 mm) . If detectors are offered
separately, this standard is also applicable to them.
The object of this standard is to lay down definitions and minimum re-
quirements as well as suitable test procedures for the characteristics and
the manufacturing standards for detectors, instruments and equipment for
the measurement of power and energy of laser radiation.
For the electrical safety of indicators and equipment, see IEC 1010-1.
2 Terminology
For the purposes of this standard, the following definitions apply:
2.1 Calibration
The set of operations which establish, under specified conditions, the
relationship between values indicated by the measuring instrument or
output signal of the detector and the corresponding known values of a
measurand.
NOTE - The result of a calibration is sometimes expressed as a cali-
bration factor or as a series of calibration factors in the form of a
calibration curve.
2.2 Calibration factor
Quotient of instrument indication by the detector input quantity.
2.3 Detector
See laser detector.
2.4
Equipment (for measuring laser power or energy)
Instrument measuring laser power or energy combined with auxiliary
devices.
2.5 Error of measurement
The difference between measured value and true value of a measurand.

2.6 Fall time constant
The time required for the detector output to fall, after a removal of a
steady input, from its initial value to the fraction
of its total change.
é
2.7 Indicator (for a laser detector)
Device to indicate the detector output in radiometric units.
2.8 Individual uncertainties
When a measurement result y depends on various (noncorrelated) influence
quantities x
i (i = 1, 2, 3 .), its uncertainty, which is caused only by the
uncertainty Ax- when determining on fixing the variable x•, is an indi-
vidual uncertainty l^y^. 1

2.9 Instrument (for measuring laser power or energy)

2.11 Laser
Any device which can be made to produce or amplify electromagnetic
radiation in the optical spectral range primarily by the process of con-
trolled stimulated emission. (See IEC 825.)
2.12 Laser detector (brief: detector)
A device which transduces radiant power or radiant energy into another,
usually electrical, quantity without signal processing or indication.
2.13
Laser radiation
All electromagnetic radiation emitted by a laser product in the optical
spectral range which is produced as a result of controlled stimulated
emission.

3.1
Minimum requirements
When applying the test methods and test conditions laid down in clause 4,
the following errors of measurement shall not be exceeded. When some of
the error sources mentioned are insignificant due to the limited applica-
bility of a detector or instrument indicated by the manufacturer, they can
be neglected (e.g. the wavelength dependence of responsivity in the case
of a measuring instrument which is only intended for a certain laser wave-
length). If the tests are to apply to an instrument or an equipment instead
of a detector, the responsivity shall be replaced by the calibration factor.

±5
3.1.2
Non-uniformity of responsivity over the detector surface ±5 %
3.1.3 Change of responsivity during irradiation

3.1.4

radiation

±5 %

3.2 Additional requirements for a detector, an instrument or equipment
with specification of an accuracy class
For the classification in a special accuracy class (referred to as class in
the following), all error sources mentioned in Sub-clauses 3.1.1 to 3.1.11
shall be taken into account unless they are insignificant due to the limited
applicability of the detector, instrument or equipment indicated by the
manufacturer.
If the errors of measurement due to temperature dependence, non-linearity
or wavelength dependence of responsivity are corrected by the user by
means of tables, graphic representations or functional correlations to the
extent that class accuracy is complied with, the letter "L" (for limited)
shall be added to the class designation. The same applies whe
