ABSTRACT:
For monitoring and controlling a laser beam, sample beams are monitored for three characteristics and the three monitor outputs are used to control the beam generation. The three characteristics monitored are the transverse distribution of energy within the beam (a) under far field conditions and (b) under near field conditions, and (c) total power within a known proportion of the beam. These are employed respectively to control (a) the position of a mirror which forms part of an optical cavity within the laser structure, (b) a beam pointing element, (c) a beam expander and (d) a power supply for the laser.
