Abstract

See full text

The present invention is an inexpensive optical beam power controller for providing fast, continuous control of a linearly polarized optical beam, such as a beam from a laser. In essence, the controller comprises a birefringent plate tiltable in relation to the beam and a polarization analyzer. Alternative double pass embodiments reduce beam displacement and the required tilt angle.
