Assembly and method for detecting radiation

Abstract

The invention relates to an assembly and method for detecting laser radiation which hits a disc (20, 28) sealing an opening (16, 18) of an enclosure, wherein at least one sensor (22) detecting the radiation is aligned having the radiation sensitive region (24) thereof on a circumferential edge section (26) of the disc, which is designed to be radiation-conducting. In order to enable secure monitoring both of the disc and of the enclosure, without a plurality of sensors being required, according to the invention, the enclosure has two walls (12, 14) spaced apart from each other and having openings (16, 18) which are sealed by the disc (20), the disc (20, 28) is arranged between the walls at the edge and the sensor (22) is arranged having the sensitive region (24) thereof between the walls, spaced apart from the disc or within an opening of the disc.
