Laser beam tester (A device assembly designed to assess the performance of laser radiation (i.e., laser beams) by measuring, displaying, and analysing some or all of the most critical laser beam characteristics, typically including peak intensity, centroid position, beam shape, intensity profile, beam diameter, ellipticity, Gaussian fit analysis, and relative power/energy. The assembly usually consists of a beam detector (e.g., CCD camera, knife-edges), a computerized unit, appropriate software for beam analysis, and a display. It is used for alignment, optimization, and quality control of laser beams delivered from continuous-wave and/or pulsed-laser medical devices.)
