CO2 Laser Funky Beam Angle

If it’s out a bit, it’s fixable via the mirror adjustments. The tube doesn’t need to be absolutely square, as long as the last mirror is fixed. If it did, none of us could replace our tubes.


This is your first photo, figure it’s m1 as the tubes cathode is at the bottom. It doesn’t look round to me… does it to you?

Have you looked at it at m1 to ensure you’re resonating in mode TEM00?
