THEORETICAL STUDY OF HIGH POWER LASERS CALORIMETRY

摘要

In the present paper, we discuss the differences between classical laser calorimetry and high power laser calorimetry. We want to answer the fundamental question: Is it realistic, for example, to speak up about free electron laser (FEL) calorimetry? The first problem has a simple answer: the difference (between the two kind of calorimetries) is made by the huge intensity provided by free electron lasers or CO_2 (KW) in comparison with other "atomic" lasers. This observation leads us to the second question. The problem is how to avoid the thermal runaway. We have found three ways.
