A surface treatment laser beam delivery and tracking system. The laser (500) generates laser light (502) along a path at an energy level suitable for treating a surface. An optical translator (520) shifts the path onto a resulting beam path. An optical angle adjuster (310, 316, 320, 326) changes the angle of the resulting beam path relative to the original path such that the laser light is incident on the surface to be treated. A motion sensor (100) transmits light energy (101-T) to the surface and receives reflected light energy (101-R) from the surface via the optical angle adjuster. The light energy travels on a parallel path to the shifted beam through the optical angle adjuster. The motion sensor detects movement of the surface relative to the original path and generates error control signals indicative of the movement. The optical angle adjuster responds to the error control signals to change the angle of the resulting beam path.
