Abstract
A system for analyzing the characteristics of a light beam is disclosed. Functionally, the system includes an optical system for collecting the light beam to be analyzed. An array of light-sensitive elements is positioned at the focal plane of the optical system. A digital system sequentially samples the output signals of the light sensors and processes the resulting data to generate signals indicative of the characteristics of the light beam.
