ABSTRACT:
Primary and secondary mirrors constitute a collimator which permit measurements to be made within a reasonably sized equipment enclosure. An incoming laser beam, from a unit undergoing test, has its light dispersed by an integrating sphere from which radiometric measurements may be made. Further, the output from the sphere passes through an avalanche photo diode for detecting laser beam pulse envelopes. These envelopes may be measured for such parameters as pulse width, and interval. A focal plane array camera is provided to measure boresight deviation from the unit undergoing test.
