  • Abstract
    The alignment of optical devices such as interferometers and laser position detectors is needed for the different adjustments of watt balances. This paper describes the optical apparatus and the numerical simulations developed to tune the alignment of experimental setup. A telescope coupled with a CCD camera and data processing are presented in detail.
