1. A method of collecting laser data comprising:
- generating a reference laser beam from a reference laser generator;
reflecting the reference laser beam off a face of a beam director assembly to a detector;
recording the coordinates of the reference laser beam on the detector;
turning the reference laser generator off;
trasmitting a test laser beam from the beam director assembly to the detector; and
recording laser data from the test laser beam via the detector.

Abstract
A system and process for testing and analyzing a laser beam is provided. The system and process allows for repeatable testing of a laser beam to provide a beam intensity profile while accounting for variation in measurements attributable to outside factors. The system and process further allows for simultaneous measurement and analysis of a laser beam having multiple wavelengths.
