Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure include methods for modulating an intensity profile of a laser beam. Methods according to certain embodiments include irradiating an acousto-optic device with a laser to generate an output laser beam having a plurality of angularly deflected laser beams, capturing an image of the output laser beam, determining an intensity profile of the output laser beam along a horizontal axis from the captured image and adjusting one or more parameters of a waveform inputted into the acousto-optic device in response to the determined intensity profile to generate an output laser beam having a modulated intensity profile. Systems having a laser, an acousto-optic device, an imaging sensor and a waveform generator as well as non-transitory computer readable storage medium with instructions for practicing the subject methods are also described.
