ABSTRACT:
An attenuated fiducial replica of the far field pattern of a high energy laser beam is obtained by a system and method wherein a first fraction of an incident high energy beam is deflected from one reflective surface of a holey plate and the diffracted orders of the beam are transmitted from the holes to a concave reflector, which reflects diffracted orders toward an opposite reflective surface of the holey plate. A zinc selenide partially reflective member is disposed on-axis between the rear reflective surface and the concave surface for re-reflecting successive fractional portions of the reflected beam a selected number of times to attenuate the beam converging upon a focal plane from an effective focal distance greater than the physical length of the optical system.
