Diagnostic instrument for measurements of a high power CO2 laser beam

A measuring device based on a rotating pinhole method was designed and developed at IF-FM for recording the spatial structure of high power cs CO2 laser beams in the near and far field region. The main performance parameters of the device are presented together with the measurement results concerning the beam propagation characteristics of the 1.2 kW technological laser.
