Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily measure and record the intensity distribution of the beam from an infrared laser of 1.2-2.0mum using a solid-state imaging element, a fiber plate and a polycrystalline membrane of a non-linear optical material. CONSTITUTION:A fiber plate 2 is adhered to the input surface of a solid-state imaging element 3 for imaging visible light by an optical adhesive and a polycrystalline membrane 1 coated with a powder of a non-linear optical material KH2PO4 is provided to the other surface of said element 3. When laser beam having a wavelength of 1.2mum or more is applied to the solid-state imaging element 3, said beam transmits through a silicon (Si) membrane 4 to generate beam distribution of secondary higher harmonic on the polycrystalline membrane 1 and transmits to the imaging element 3 by the fiber plate 2. When the secondary higher harmonic is 0.4-1.0mum, the KH2PO4 membrane 1 permits beam of 2.0mum or less to transmit and the Si vapor deposition membrane 4 permits beam of 1.2mum or more to transmit and, therefore, the intensity distribution of infrared rays of 1.2-2.0mum can be measured even under a fluorescent lamp.
