title: Real-time measurement of the spatial profile of a pulsed laser by photothermal spectroscopy.
abstract: A new method for the measurement of the spatial profile of a pulsed laser is demonstrated. The method is based on the photothermal deflection technique. The spatial profile of a single pulse can be measured in real time.
