Techniques for providing optical ion beam metrology are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as an apparatus for controlling beam density profile, the apparatus may include one or more camera systems to capture at least one image of an ion beam and a control system coupled to the one or more camera systems to control a beam density profile of the ion beam. The control system may further include a dose profiler to provide information to one or more ion implantation components in at least one of a feedback loop and a feedforward loop to improve dose and angle uniformity.
