Project Description
Automated Laser Beam Characterizer is a portable, automated instrument that measures total power, divergence, waist size and location, beam quality factor (M²), polarization (Stokes), and wavelength via diffraction grating. The system integrates motorized alignment, a low-noise analog chain, and a desktop GUI for live plots and report exports.
