What is it about?

This work describes a novel approach to measuring a laser's M-square or beam parameter product in real time using a passive optical approach with no moving parts that creates spatial time slices of the focused beam through more than one Rayleigh range.

Why is it important?

Measuring a laser's M-square or beam parameter product has been a difficult task; even for the experienced engineer. This technique makes it possible for the novice user to achieve the same results as the exepreinced engineer.
