Abstract:
The divergence of an optical beam is determined. An optic is configured to provide internal reflection of at least a part of a beam of radiation scanned over varying angles of incidence on the optic. The optic has a film configured to provide a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect. A detector is arranged relative to the optic and configured to electronically detect radiation reflected from the optic. The divergence angle of the beam of radiation is calculated based on a change in reflectance relative to angle of incidence.
