Delivery of multiple laser beams is made quick and consistent through application of the beam alignment tool (BAT) from L-A-Omega. The BAT quickly coverts a crooked laser beam into a straight-and-centered beam. The angular repeatability is <1 mrad while the angular acceptance angle is up to 5.0 degrees. The spatial repeatability is less than 5% of the beam diameter while the spatial acceptance aperture is 18 mm in diameter. The BAT quickly mounts to a kinematic base with excellent repeatability. It is an essential tool for any optical instrument that requires accurate alignment of laser beams. |
