Could mirrors' alignment alter pulse spot size?

Assume you mean width?


This is most likely a focus issue, from what I can see. I’d suggest a ramp test to ensure that’s the finest line or best focus. It’s too big all around.


If you have:

  1. properly working tube
  2. clean and aligned optics
  3. proper focus

They work…

Ensure the optics are clean.

This can also be caused by the tubes TEM mode.


If you use a minimum power setting, you can eliminate the burnt corners. I’d guess you have both minimum and maximum the same or nearly so. Not going to fix the optical issue.
