About
A common technique for laser beam collimation is to use commercial shear plates. By separating the beam in two paths and recombining them, interference fringes form and their pattern is dependent on how collimated the beam is. However for pulsed laser, the difference in optical paths prevents the split pulse to overlap in time which prevents any interference.
The goal of this project is to create an easy to use tool that could be put on any setup and verify the collimation of pulsed laser beams.
