Abstract :
Resonator alignment is the most challenging step in the manufacturing of solid state lasers. Reduced dimensions and the high precision needed for achieving high output power efficiency make this procedure complicated to automate. A completely automated alignment of the resonator would significantly reduce costs and manufacturing time.
