Abstract
Abstract A photographic exposure meter in visualization equipment for detecting the presence or absence of a pulse of laser light on a target. Light from a laser pulse which forms a hologram, is scattered when it impinges on the target plate and detected by a photodetector, the resultant pulse signal being integrated and amplified. The output pulse, proportional to the hologram exposure, is fed to a storage oscilloscope for convenient display.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
137 words
A photographic plate exposure meter for detecting the presence or absence of a single pulse of laser energy impinging on a photographic plate comprising: detector means, an integrating circuit, an amplifier, and display means; said detector means being a photodiode for detecting the presence of laser light from a pulse of laser light energy that is reflected or scattered by said plate and providing an electrical output; said display means being an oscilloscope display means; said amplifier being an operational amplifier having an input and an output, said output being coupled to provide an amplified electrical output to said display means, and said integrating circuit being a passive, resistance-capacitance, integrating circuit coupled between said photodiode electrical output and said operational amplifier input for integrating the single pulse signal coupled therethrough and blocking any direct current interference signal.
