Abstract
A two-dimensional image and energy profile of the output from a pulsed laser is analyzed on a pulse-by-pulse basis by a video graphics image processing system coupled to a minicomputer. An intensity distribution in psuedo color for the full beam is formed by the processor and displayed on a color monitor in real time. The minicomputer performs analytical measurements in two dimensions on the beam shape and size as well as on the pulse timing properties of the laser. The system serves as a real time diagnostic tool for laser development.
