ABSTRACT:
A measuring system for a ring laser mirror, or the like, is provided, whereby the mirror can be quickly scanned and the backscatter levels measured and presented in the form of a map which directly indicates the spots of the mirror where acceptable backscatter levels exist. When such a spot has been identified, the system of the invention is also capable of measuring the reflectivity of the spot, which normally must be approximately 99.7% to be acceptable. The system of the invention has the capability of measuring the reflectivity of the mirror in addition to measuring the backscatter in a single set-up, and without having to manipulate the mirror.
