ABSTRACT:
A method of aligning the mirrors and bore tube axis of a laser without actually operating the laser comprising the directing of two light beams through the bore tube collinear with the bore tube axis; the two light beams being directed through the tube from opposite ends of the tube. The mirrors are positioned so that one or both of the light beams are reflected from the mirrors along paths also collinear with the bore axis. A fine alignment of the mirrors is provided by detecting the light of a modulated laser beam passed through the bore and mirrors. The mirrors are accurately positioned when the detected modulated laser beam provides a peak output.
