ABSTRACT:
An alignment device for aligning a beam of radiant energy, particularly a laser beam, with respect to a target comprises a reflector in the path of the beam, the reflector having an aperture of a diameter smaller than that of the beam so that the aperture permits the center portion of the beam to pass therethrough to the target, while the outer marginal fringe of the beam is intercepted and reflected to a sighting member, the device further including an optical system transposing the image of the sighting member onto the field of the target, thereby enabling real-time alignment of the beam and providing a better defined beam and while permitting the alignment to be effected before directing the beam to the target.
