Abstract
An automated device for determining the stability of the power of continuous laser emission created in accordance with the requirements of the ISO 11554 international standard is considered. The mean value of the measured emission intensity and root-mean-square deviation from this mean value, the maximum and minimum values of the intensity and stability of the emissive power are calculated on the basis of a measurement of the intensity of laser emission expressed in terms of relative units. The measurements are performed for medium-term (1 min) and long-term (60 min) intervals.
