Abstract: This invention relates to industrial physics and, in particular, to methods of laser treatment. The laser treatment method consists of irradiation of the surface of an object by laser beams directed to treatment zones having a desired shape, wherein laser beams are subjected to spatial phase modulation dictated by the shape of the treatment zone and the prescribed distribution of intensity and are, simultaneously, rotated.A device realizing this method comprises a source of laser radiation with an optical system for delivery of laser radiation to the object, which is positioned on the optical axis of the source and includes at least one phase computer-designed element made as a reflecting or transmitting plate with a micropattern on the surface thereof, which is dependent on the shape of the treatment zone, distribution of laser radiaiton intensity, and its wavelength (.lambda.), the height (h) of the peaks of the micropattern varying, from the base (a) to the top (b), from 0 to .lambda.

Abstract: According to the invention, a maximum output signal of the sensor is measured as the sensor is actuated and voltage is applied to its sensitive element to produce a prescribed heating temperature, whereupon one measures the steady-state output signal of the sensor and the duration of the transient process between the maximum signal and the steady-state signal.
