Photoconductive detectors (PCDs) fabricated from natural IIa diamonds have been used to measure the x-ray power emitted from laser-produced plasmas. The detector was operated without any absorbing filters which distort the x-ray power measurement. The 5.5 eV band gap of the detector material practically eliminates its sensitivity to scattered laser radiation thus permitting filterless operation. Excellent agreement was achieved between a diamond PCD and a multichannel photoemissive diode array in the measurement of radiated x-ray power and energy.
