12.2.2 Minimum energy per single measurement
The energy used for the measurement must achieve a sufficiently high temperature in
the absorber to be recorded with high precision. Typically, an energy of approx. 500 J is
recommended, as long as the measuring duration is < 2 s.
Example: With a laser power of 1 kW and an irradiation time of 500 ms, 500 J are
absorbed.
E = P · t = 1 000 W · 0.5 s = 500 J
Fig. 12.3 on page 25 shows information for selecting the energy permissible for a
measurement in conjunction with the absorber temperature.

Absorber temperature in °C
25 °C Ambient temperature
The measuring range varies in accordance with the ambient
temperature. To achieve the greatest possible accuracy, the
absorber temperature should be close to the ambient tempe-
rature, particularly when it comes to the measurement of small
amounts of energy (< 200 J).
Fig. 12.3: Measuring range as a function of the absorber temperature
The minimum energy application shows the limit above which a measurement can be
performed with high precision. The maximum energy application value specifies the limit
at which the absorber reaches its reliable limit temperature. The energy, e.g. for multiple
measurements (series measurements) can be distributed across the range shown in
green.
If the absorber temperature is greater than 70 °C, it won’t be possible to take any fur-
ther measurements. In this case, please wait until the temperature falls to below 50 °C
(depending on the energy application selected). Please take the limit values from Fig.
12.3 on page 25.
