The AngleMeter U3  measures CW beams, and offers portable, fast and accurate beam alignment solutions, by monitoring minute angular deviations on a wide aperture.

The AngleMeter uses an optical design similar to a refractive telescopic sight.  A laser beam incident on the input aperture of the objective lens will be  focused onto the detector surface. Its location on the detector surface is directly proportional to the angular deviation of the laser beam with
respect to the AngleMeter optical axis. The AngleMeter U3 can simultaneously measure multiple laser beams directions and their relative angular positions with respect to the housing, The system measures the divergence of a laser beam down to 0.5/0.8mrad with a position resolution better than 7.5μrad/ 5μrad. The system is available in 25mm or 50mm. Specifications for both systems are available.  The AngleMeter also measures laser beam power and power fluctuations can be recorded and displayed as a strip chart versus time.

The Anglemeter U3 is utilized in the monitoring of moving optical devices,such as gimbaled cameras and seekers
