Abstract
The precise determination of the absolute absorptance of a laser component is of
high scientific and commercial importance. Our intention is to demonstrate that
laser calorimetry can be a reliable and sensitive characterization tool for this
purpose. Furthermore, the limitations of laser calorimetry are discussed and
suggestions for possible revisions of the ISO 11551 (International Organization
for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland) standard are made. Finally, laser
calorimetry is compared with photothermal deflection methods with respect to
their practicability in different fields of laser optic characterization.
