Laser Alignment

[John Pavlick]

Bob,
 My father did some work for the military a while ago. Something to do with
focusing light over a very long distance / small aperture.  It must have
worked because our tanks and planes don't shoot each other anymore (not that
we know of). I'll ask him to take a look at my laser incidence meter and see
what he thinks. Stay tuned.

  Couldn't figure out an aperture.  Needs some sort of optical sharpening of
the beam....dunno how to do that.
  Any laser-optics-light folks out there with ideas?

        Hey Bob, is there a way to narrow the laser line projection with a
mask or grid attached near to the laser lens.  Leaves a smaller apprature
(sp?) for the laser to project thru...  I think I saw something like that in
an article somewhere.....

          One comment, after buying some of the "laser levels" out
there....they can
          be HUGELY helpful, and I bought two from Wally World (cheapies) to
help with
          "general" alignment, and they work well.

          As long as you have no objection to the 3/32-1/8" wide line that
they
          project.
          If there was a way to make that line THINNER, they would be REALLY
cool.
          (But they ain't bad as they are, easy to adjust to give 90*
lines...handy)
