Optics and photonics - Lasers and laser-related equipment - Test methods for the spectral characteristics of lasers (ISO 13695:2024)

This document specifies methods by which the spectral characteristics such as wavelength, bandwidth, spectral distribution and wavelength stability of a laser beam can be measured. This document is applicable to both continuous wave (cw) and pulsed laser beams. The dependence of the spectral characteristics of a laser on its operating conditions may also be important.

Optik und Photonik - Laser und Laseranlagen - Prüfverfahren für die spektralen Kenngrößen von Lasern (ISO 13695:2024)

In diesem Dokument werden Verfahren festgelegt, mit deren Hilfe spektrale Kenndaten gemessen werden können, z. B. Wellenlänge, Bandbreite, spektrale Verteilung und Wellenlängenstabilität eines Laserstrahls. Dieses Dokument ist sowohl auf Dauerstrichlaserstrahlen (cw) als auch auf Pulslaserstrahlen anwendbar. Die Abhängigkeit der spektralen Kenndaten eines Lasers von den vorliegenden Betriebsbedingungen kann ebenfalls von Bedeutung sein.

Optique et photonique - Lasers et équipement associé aux lasers - Méthodes d'essai des caractéristiques spectrales des lasers (ISO 13695:2024)

Le présent document spécifie des méthodes qui permettent de mesurer les caractéristiques spectrales, telles que la longueur d’onde, la largeur spectrale, la distribution spectrale et la stabilité en longueur d’onde d’un laser. Le présent document s’applique aux faisceaux laser continu et impulsionnel. La dépendance des caractéristiques spectrales d’un laser vis-à-vis de ses conditions de fonctionnement peut être également importante.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO [had/had not] received notice of
(a) patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the World Trade
Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee 172 Optics and Photonics, Subcommittee SC 9, Laser
and electro-optical systems.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 13595:2004) of which it constitutes a minor
revision.
The main changes are as follows:
— editorial changes related to the new format
— the symbol for side-mode suppression ratio was adapted from SMS to R
SMS
— lg was changed to log in 3.15.
— the title of the SC 9 was updated.
— intensity was adapted to irradiance.
— in the Bibliography Reference 2 was updated and replaced by References 2 and 3.

Introduction
The spectral characteristics of a laser, such as its peak wavelength or spectral linewidth, are important for
potential applications. Examples are the specific application requirements of interferometry and lithography.
This document gives definitions of key parameters describing the spectral characteristics of a laser, and
provides guidance on performing measurements to determine these parameters for common laser types.
