Laser beam adjustment

Abstract From the Canadian patent

The invention relates to instruments, such as radiometers which generate a laser beam for striking a target at a distance to assist in aiming the instrument at a selected area of a target. Provision is made for splitting a single beam used for instance for centering the instrument on the target into a plurality of beams for creating a pattern or for defining an area on the target. When a single beam is split the resultant plural beams produced are of relatively lower power which may be insufficient for visibility on a target at a distance. The beam splitting apparatus may be an attachment releasably engaged on the instrument the attachment having a body structure with a relatively movable …
