Abstract
An electro-optical test tool for testing an input laser beam includes a collecting optics system of attenuating and collimating lenses enabling the test tool to test high powered, high PRF laser sources. A processor controlled CCPD sensor array provides a shuttered laser beam video signal which can be processed using a non-linear technique to improve the dynamic range of the system. Additionally, boresight error correcting capabilities are provided as well as range finding techniques.
