Abstract

Many applications of ultraviolet (UV) lasers would be greatly facilitated if the designers and users of associated optical systems could characterize the beams as to location, size, shape and intensity distribution at selected points along the optical path. We describe a new technique based upon visible light fluorescence induced into a crystalline plate when irradiated by a UV beam as a means for performing these measurements. Instruments applying this principle and allowing the user to observe the otherwise invisible beam as well as to quantify its intensity profiles using electronic and/or computer analysis methods also are described.
