The objective of this project was to design and implement a freely attachable,
automated adjustment system for the output coupler of an open cavity laser.
The system adjusts the couplers tilt knobs until the cavity lases, reducing the time
and effort needed for setting up experiments and applications which make use of open cavity lasers.
The project also includes a beam profiler running simultaneously to the adjustment system,
enabling real time analysis of the beams development, while also outputting relevant beam parameters,
such as beam waist and divergence.
