Device for Absorption of a Laser Beam and Device for Attenuating a Laser Beam

摘要

An apparatus for absorbing a laser beam has an absorption surface on which the laser beam is incident and which absorbs the beam at least partially. The apparatus also has a cooling device for cooling the absorption surface and an optical device, such as in the form of a cylindrical lens, for expanding the laser beam before it is incident on the absorption surface. The apparatus may also have a beam splitter for attenuating a laser beam.
