2. Gaussian beam measurement techniques
2.1 Cross-sectional characterization techniques
Transverse characterization of a Gaussian beam is performed in a transverse plane for a well-defined z coordinate on the propagation axis (§ 1.3.1 ). Two measurement methods can be used to produce a beam intensity profile: translation profiling of a mechanical element, known as "scanner profiling", and CCD or C-MOS camera profiling....
