Laser Beam Pointing Aid.

Abstract

A laser beam pointing aid is described for field testing of breadboard laser systems and utilizing a hollow housing with apertures at each end and with crosshairs at one end of the housing and a telescope adjustably mounted to the hollow housing and being positionable relative to an output beam from a laser system to allow one to utilize the last mirror of the laser system and the laser beam pointing aid to accurately point the laser beam to a target.
